Avoid meftal. Most fevers in children are viral in origin and take 3-7 days to subside completely. Give just paracetamol for fever and repeat every 4 hours if required. For stomach upset,give ors after every loose motion if watery and add curds and Banana in the diet. If not improving,consult your paediatrician again.
