Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your son is having fever for last 2-3 days for which your doctor has prescribed paracetamol, Meftal P and a course of antibiotics.

Syp Paracetamol should be given once in six hours, if the there is a fever in between and the temp is more than 100 F, You can give Syp Meftal P and it should be given once in six hours if there is any fever more than 100F.

If the fever is not coming down it suggest that he may be having some infection in the body, that is the reason your pediatrician has advised a course of antibiotic syrup.

These medicines will suffice and helps to control the symptoms of your son at the earliest. I would suggest him to give lots of boiled and cool water.
Thank you.
