Hello,
* Adding meftal will not serve the issue to the curative path, it would be rather just suppression of fever only.
* Most important issue would be either drug resistance or organism not responding to Novamox.
Kindly discuss the issue with his pediatrician to change antibiotics or take basic lab test with complete blood counts with or without chest x-ray for further expert management to cure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
