Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic. Meftal P contains paracetamol and so does crocin. It is to be given in dose of 15 mg/kg/dose at a minimum interval of 3-4 hours. Crocin DS syrup contains paracetamol in dose of 240 mg/5ml. You may calculate the required dose in ml as per your child's age. You may also give your child cold sponging in order to reduce the temperature.
