Hi
Meftal is a preparation of Mefenamic Acid and is usually not given in childre below 12 years of age and mothers during lactation. Rudamol is a preaparation of Paracetamol which is a preferred drug for any form of Fever in Children. Of course, treating fever may need some other medications like antibiotics .
