My son is aged 5 years and weighs 17 kg. He had fever on Friday with vomiting and doctor has diagnosed it as a viral fever. However yesterday night he is having fever continuously. We dosed Meftal at 12 pm and it subsided but again now at 5 am it is 103 deg F. We have dosed him with 5 ml Crocin DS now. Can we also give MeftalP now or how long should be the interval
Hi, thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Regarding your son if he is having fever first give any paracetamol preparation for his fever to settle down. Kindly note that if your child is comfortable during fever there is no need to decrease his temperature to normal range aggressively with fever medications, but as your child is having high grade fever you can give him metal suspension one hour after giving paracetamol if it is not coming down. Do tepid sponging with lukewarm water and give him plenty of fluids as they tend to get deny Chat Doctor.  Hope this helps you, kindly feel free to contact again for any further queries, take care.
