What Is The Treatment For Fever In A Child?
Hi, My baby is 1 year old and is having high fever from yesterday, I gave medomol drops 2(10 drops each) doses initially yesterday evening and night, from third dose I am giving 2.5ml meftal-p but it is still not coming down. First time I gave meftal-p which was suggested by his doctor last time when he was infected with chickenpox 4 weeks back. Can I continue this or I should use Calpol instead of this? I have an appointment with doctor tomorrow morning.

Hi,
If your child is okay in between fever episodes, you need not worry. Dose of MEDOMOL drops is less, increase to at least 1 ml (if he is around 10 kgs). Better is to give Meftal P 3ml and MEDOMOL alternatively. Sponge him with luke warm water and give him plenty of oral fluids. Always give medicine after food.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
