Are Meftal P And Paracetamol The Right Medication For Fever?
Hello Doctor. My son is 6 years old, weighs 22.8 kgs. He has fever from last 4 days which is varying 100 to 104 deg , along with dry cough and wheezing. He has been prescribed Paracetamol and cough syrup (Ambroxol + Guiafenasin + terbutalibe) with cefoprox 100 mg twice. Since fever is touching 104 deg twice or thrice in a day, can I give him Meftal P thrice daily keeping 3 - 4 hours gap with Paracetamol? Can I give him Doxofylline - 100 mg and omnacortil 5 mg twice as he has history of asthmatic wheezing ? Please advise.
