I suggest you use Paracetamol for the fever. You could use Susp Calpol or Crocin (120mg/5ml) 7.5ml every 6 hours of temp is more than 100 degrees.
Paracetamol is more effective and a lot more safer than Meftal-P. Keep the latter for persistent high fever only.
Levolin is safe and should be used 3 times daily. 5ml each time should be enough.
Next Steps
Add Syp Alex Junior 7.5ml twice daily for 5 days. This will help the dry cough.
