Fever can increase pulse rate. If you are staying in dengue prone area avoid giving meftal p.

Pulse rate increases during fever so that is expected. Meftal P can be given 3 hours after crocin. But if dengue is suspected, then give crocin only because Meftal P decreases platelet count. Keep daily and sos follow up with you Pediatrician
