Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Mariano is a medicine to treat malaria. You have not mentioned if malaria had been confirmed by blood test. If not, you have not done a good thing and unless he has malaria, the fever would not respond. There can be a number of causes for fever. Viral fevers are most common. Viral fevers do not respond to Mariano or any antibiotics and come down on their own in 5-10 days and I guess that you have to wait till then. In the meantime you have to keep the temperature in control by use of paracetamol. Metal P contains metonymic acid which is more effective than paracetamol in relieving fever and hence has kept the temperature normal for few hours. The dose can be repeated in 3-4 hours. Stay relaxed. Just give paracetamol. Also give sponging with water at normal temperature.
