Is giving so much meftal 5 ml evry 5 hour is safe for her. Many time doc prescribed mox dry+wet syrup also. Pls help. Fever goes till 102-103 F. But she stays active most of time, but get weak with very high fever.
Pls suggest some thing to increase her immunity and cause for this recurrent fever from last 3-4 months

Firstly , do not give Meftal every 5 hrly ,it's not safe . Pls give paracetamol plain
Kindly get in touch with ur pediatrician , for investigating the cause of high grade fever .
It's not about increasing the immunity , we need to find out the cause and treat accordingly

This is a fairly common condition.
Children get recurrent fever till their immune systems developes properly, quite often upto the age of 5 yrs. Antibiotic does not help.
There is no specific treatment.
Do not worry.
