Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
You can give paracetamol every 4 hourly.
AS already 5 hours passed you can safely repeat Meftal.
Tepid sponging frequently in addition to drugs will help reducing fever promptly.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
