Brief Answer:
Viral illness

Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Your kid seems to be having a viral illness. I will first answer your questions before allying your fears about fever and viral illness.

1. Meftal-P is an NSAID and contains Mefenamic acid, which is not recommended in children. It may cause drug induced gastritis and also renal problems on the long run. Please stop Meftal-P and never use it hereafter in children.
2. Fever measure at arm pit is final for deciding to treat or not. you need not add 1 to it. It was an old concept which is out of date now.

Fever of few hours without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.

You can treat fever with Paracetamol at 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly if fever is > 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever as usually most combination medicines combine Paracetamol with NSAIDs and is not advisable.

As you have mentioned weight I will suggest you a formulation.
For fever- you can use-
Syrup P-125 (125mg/5ml) 5ml every 4-6th hourly, that too only if temperature is more than 100F.
Apart from this give her plenty of oral fluids.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
