What is the dosage of Meftal P for my 3.5 year old daughter. She is 14 kgs . she has a fever of 103F.Since her fever was high i gave her 5ml of Meftal P which caused the temp to come down.however her fever again touched 103F after 6 hrs (fever was not coming down after spunging) I had to give her another 5 ml of Meftal P. I am worried if iots overdose now.
Hello, For a 3.4 yrs old with a weight of 14 kg, this dose of Metal is absolutely within the limits, and you can give her every 6 hours if required and believe me, there won't be any harm. This medicine will only bring her fever down for a few hours. So far as the repeat of her fever is concerned, please wait for another day. If fever still persists, a bacterial infection may be suspected, and I usually start Monomer -O 50 mg 5 ml twice daily for 3 days to my patients. You can also consult her pediatrician for the same. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
