Brief Answer:
DO NOT GIVE Meftal P

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Please do not give Meftal P as it can make the matter worse. Your child has developed acute gastritis and Meftal P is a gastric irritant. Rather, give some antacid like Mucaine Gel syrup. It should help in relieving the pain.

Feel free to write back.
