Avoid meftal,that's for fever above 103.
Just give paracetamol for fever and repeat every 4 hours if required.
If not improving OR accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or loose motions or coughing and breathlessness or dullness,consult your paediatrician asap.
I think you mean frisium,which is a preventive med for febrile seizure,although not indicated at this age.
