Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Febrex plus contains Chlorpheniramine , Paracetamol , Sodium Citrate , used usually for common cold with fever , you have not mentioned strength of paracetamol, and dose of medicine you are taking .

Meftal P in prescribed doses can be taken with it , but instead of using two medicines you can always do tepid sponging to bring down fever , if otherwise baby is active , usually seasonal illness takes 3-5 days in recovery .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing your baby good health.
