High fever with Shivering

2018-12-31 02:25:34
My Son 6years old, is having high fever since morning. So we were giving Dolo 250 10ml suspension. At night he had 103.5 degree Fahrenheit so we gave Meftal P, 10ml . Now at 3am he started shivering but no fever. We gave Dolo again. Shall I give Meftal P again as he doesn't have fever but shivering.

Shivering usually indicates that body temperature is rising. If measured fever is present,only then give antipyretics.
