Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello My two year old kid is having fever since last three days. Doctor told to give MeftalP for two days , but as the fever did not come on second day, i stopped giving it. Should i give this medicine as per prescription for two days even the fever has not come again?As the fever has again came today. He also has chest congestion. for chest congestion we are doing nebulisation. Pls suggest.
Meftal we can give on an SOS basis also (ie. as and when required). But if the fever is not coming down after 72 hours, I recommend you to get back to doctor, as we may need an antibiotic too incase there is crepitations in chest (suggesting sputum) or other signs of bacterial infection. Meanwhile, you can continue nebulisation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
