Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, you can give Meftal-P in dosage of 4 to 6 mg/kg body weight if fever is above 102°F. Also do tepid sponging.
If fever continues to be on higher side, get him re-evaluated by pediatrician to see if there is any infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
