We should not run behind treating fever, try to find out the cause of fever and treat. Meftal P only 3 times in a day. May need investigations, detailed examination if fever is rising. Keep offering to eat or drink. Watch out for danger signs like not accepting feeds, vomiting, letharginess, breathing difficulty
