Hi,
Thanks for asking query on health care magic.
Meftal-P syrup does not cause convulsions.
It is given to control temperature.
Children between 6 months to 6 years develop convulsions at the height of fever.(febrile convulsions).
The doctor has given the correct medicine.
Convulsions started before the temperature is controlled by Meftal-P.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.
Take care
