What Dosage Of Meftal P Is Advisable For A Toddler With Fever?

my son (3.5 yrs, wt 15Kgs) is having high fever and it is because of throat infection since today morning. I have given him Fevago but the fever is not subsiding. Can I give him Meftal P, if yes how much? Also, he vomited whatever he ate and then even water. I gave him Emmeset. Is that ok? Antibiotics are started and two doses of today are over. The vomit was after 30 mins of second dose. Is it ok?
