Avoid meftal.
Most fevers in children are viral in origin and take 3-7 days to subside completely.
Give just paracetamol for fever and repeat every 4 hours if required.
For stomach upset,give ors after every loose motion if watery and add curds and Banana in the diet.
If not improving,consult your paediatrician again.
