Mefthal P or ibrugesic.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting the query to HCM,

If the fever is only from yesterday night Then give SYR IBRUGESIC 6ml 8 hourly. This is to be given only when fever is only more than 100 F. If fever is less than 100 F then give him calpal syrup 6 ml 6 hourly.

When ever there is increase in temperature the first treatment should be taped sponging using lukewarm water.


If the fever doesn't reduce by 3 days then consult the doctor.

Take care.
