Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Meftal -P can be used in addition to paracetamol in prescribed doses.Most viral fever take 3-5 days to resolve. Better option will be to use one antipyretics and use tepid sponging to bring down fever if it occurs despite antipyretics .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
*Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine.
Wishing your son good health.
