Fever is already since 5 days and it's rising trend. Clinical examination and Blood test needs to be done and accordingly medication can be planned. Dose depends on the weight of the child ( so please provide the weight). If you have already given pcm (p250) don't repeat meftal immediately. Keep 4 hours gap between subsequent doses.
Next Steps
