Can Calpol And Meftal Be Used Alternatively For Viral Fever In Kids?
Hi Doctor,
My son three years ols was suffering from viral fever from last 4 days. Today is 5th day. Today he is better.
As per doctor we were given calpol and meftal as fever was crossing 103. Given the medicine in a gap of 4 to 5 hrs. First day given only calpol. As fever was not redicing started with meftal. Is that okay to give meftal and calpol alternately. Will it have any side effects
Regards
Divya

Hi,
Both medicines are for fever and pain.
Both are good medicines and comparatively safe medicine for children.
Youcan give either as and when required.
Give enough water to your child.
Ok and take care.
