Yes, medications like Meftal P (mefenamic acid) belong to the class of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can temporarily affect kidney filtration and cause transient proteinuria. However, the presence of protein in the urine during an active illness can also be a benign reaction to the high fever itself (febrile proteinuria). should evaluate the child to rule out several overlapping possibilities, such as an acute allergic reaction or parasitic infection (indicated by the high IgE), a temporary medication side effect, or an underlying urinary tract infection.

This is not something that should be taken lightly. I would recommend a teleconsultation so that we can discuss the symptoms in detail, review the complete history, and understand what treatments have already been tried.
At present, I have only been able to review a few of the reports. During the consultation, we can go through any additional reports, investigations, and relevant medical records to get a clearer picture of the condition.

A single 1+ urine protein result during fever is often temporary and can occur due to fever or mild dehydration. The current urine report does not suggest a urine infection.
Please ensure good fluid intake and repeat a first-morning urine test once your child has recovered. If protein is still present, consult a pediatrician/nephrologist for further evaluation.
