Hello doctor, I am the mother of 11.5 month old boy. He had fever since sunday afternoon. Even after giving calpol drops, fever reduces only slightly. With thermometer under armpit, i measured 104 deg. I continued giving calpol every 4hrly, still fever didnt come down. Yesterday night, i gave him meftal-p on a friend doctor s advice and baby was instantly much better and slept well. Today morning, i gave him snother dose of calpol and meftal-p and baby is sleeping peacefully. I am giving calopl drops 1.5ml and meftal-p 5 ml . Baby weighs 10- 10.5 kg. shall i continue this medication for 2 more days? Pls advice.
Hi thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor For a 10 kg baby max dose allowed in 24 hours is 600 mg of paracetamol, Cal pol Chat Doctor. You can give max four doses in 24 hours. Regarding Fanatic acid, Metal P you can give 3 doses in 24 hours. If fever us not coming down you can do tepid sponging(not cold sponging). But fever is high you need to consult your pediatrician to rule out any serious issue. Hope I answered your query thanks.
