Having Fever vary from 99.1 to 100. Already checked with doctor yesterday evening. Doctor prescribed Calpol 250 6 ml in every 6 hours and in case temperature go up to 100 (and above) then Meftal P. But even after, given of Calpol, temperature doesn't come down and reaches to 100 so we have given Meftal p 6 ml also after 1-2 hours as prescribed by doctor and temperature comes down easily to 97. What to do now, shall we continue Meftal p in every 6 hours and stop Calpol or both medicine should be given in one hour gap. Doctor is not picking up the phone. need advise.
