Brief Answer:
Viral fever may last a week, dont worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
thanks for writing to us.
Viral fever may last upto a week.
Dont worry. You have already done blood tests, so you can safely wait.
Coming to the medicines,
1. P250 9 ml can be given only once in 4 hours not before 4 hours.
2. Meftal P can be given only once in 8hours.
You can give some gap between these two.
Continuously sponge her with normal temperature water soaked cloth.
Cepodem can be continued as per your doctors advice.
Vomiting will happen mostly after cough, ecause coughing increases intra abdominal pressure.
No need to treat it.
Continue soft liquid or semisolid diets.
Avoid spicy, oily foods.
I sincerely hope that fever should settle in a few days.
If not consult your doctor again.
Wishing your child speedy recovery
Regards
Dr Arun

since her temp is not subsiding with continuous sponging I gave her p250 and after 3 hrs when the temp raises gave her meftal p and then after 3 hrs p250. does this have any side affect? wll it cause any gastritic issue?
Brief Answer:
no not all
Detailed Answer:
You have maintained 6 hours gap between 2 doses of p250.
That is OK.
But give next dose of meftal p eight hours after first dose of meftal. If you have given earlier just make sure of.this from next dose.
Don't worry. There won't be any gastric issue.
