Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son has fever since yesterday afternoon. We had given him calpol yesterday at 1 pm (fever at 100) than at 8 pm (fever at 100.6) and again at 2 pm (fever 100.8) since fever was constant above 100 and momentarily fever was coming down because of of medicine.... I am worried now as fever is not coming down since temperature reading under armpit is showing less than 100 and his forehead, back and stomach is very hot. Is this possible? Also let me know if his fever increases again than can I give meftal p? When can I give him meftal p?
