Hi,
Meftal and crocin both are good antipyeretic medicines.
It will take some time to act to bring down the temperature.
now over and above crocin, you gave Meftal, it will start working now and fever will go down.
Important is to give more water so that there will be profuse perspiration bringing down the temperature.
If require apply ice pack on forehead or abdomen.
As there is h/o seizure, if fever does not go down, consult your doctor.
Ok and take care.
