The child has high fever inspite of Meftal p. Did you get him examined by a pediatrician?  If not please do.  Before starting any antibiotics please do a complete blood count. Based on that we can come to a conclusion as to whether it's viral or bacterial. Take the reports to your pediatrician and let the doctor take a call on whether he requires antibiotics or not.
