Hii..

From the presentation, it seems your daughter have some sort of infection in blood,
I will advise you to go to paeds doctor again, ask for blood test. Keep her hydrated with fluid and ORS solution, look for seizures or abnormal behavior.
I will advise she needs these blood tests , complete blood count, Urea and Electrolytes, urine routine and culture and sensitivity, Malaria dual antigen, Dengue serology.
Regarding Meftal-P , it doesnt have any serious side effects, It can cause nausea, vomiting, pruritis, Abdominal Pain, ringing in ears(these all occur in 10% of cases)
I find this answer helpful
