Metal P contains metonymic acid which is more effective than eugenic (ibuprofen) which is turn is more effective than Cronin (paracetamol) in relieving fever. A child of 3 years (I hope it has accidentally mentioned as hrs) can be given Metal P safely. Dose of Metal P is unrelated to that of Eugenic. Doses of Metal P require a separation of about 6 hours from each other but not from that of other medicines like eugenic or Cronin. You can also give tepid sponging to bring down the temperature.
