Can Calpol Be Taken If Fever Persists Despite Taking Meftal-P?
Brief Answer:
yes you can
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
Meftal-p contains mefenamic acid used for high grade fever.
If, fever is not responding to it, you can give paracetamol along with it, as the medicines are different.
Also, you can try cold sponging.
Do not worry sometimes if the fever is high it can take 1 to 2 hours for fever to come down after giving medicine.
Hope I helped you.
