Fever from last 24 hours

2019-09-13 18:12:35
Hi doctor, I have 5 months old baby. She is having fever from last 24 hours with temperature around 101 to 102.6 degrees We have traveled from Vijayawada to Mumbai by train and after 15 hours of our journey she got effected with this fever. I gave Calpol 1ml around 4 doses but there temperature didn't came down then add per my sister's suggestion we gave Meftal-p suspension of 2ml. Then the temperature came down. What we have done is correct or not? And shall I continue giving that medicine?
