Meftal P is given only when fever is above 102 and it can be given only 3 times a day.. u can give paracetamol every 6 th hrly not more than that.. if in between fever occurs do tepid sponge.. if fever is persisting more than 3 days or any other symptoms consult near by paediatrician...

The fever medicines resolve fever for only 6 hours after 6 hours when the effect of medicine wanes off fever comes again. Meet your pediatrician to find the cause of fever if it is bacterial origin you will need antibiotics if it is viral origin it will resolve in 3 to 4 days. After giving medicine why the whole body with water give a bath this will also decrease the temperature. Give plenty of oral fluids water juice to keep the body hydrated.
