Can meftal p cause gastric pain?
My kid has viral from 3 days and my doctor has now asked me to give 5.5ml meftal p if fever goes above 102 for my 6 year old son, weight 18.5kg.
I have 2 queries, please suggest.
1.
Do I need to give other medicine like rentac syrup or anything while giving this pain killer.
Last dose I gave caused pain in stomach hence asking as not sure of it can cause gas/gastric issues if given alone.
2.
Also sometimes fever is so high that kid can't eat anything just before taking meftal p,
so can I give it with small quantity of something like 2 biscuits or something... Only for case if kid had taken food more than 4 hours back?
