General & Family Physician, Dr. Varinder's Response

Hello,

Please note that Meftal P is the symptomatic treatment of fever. And fever will subside when infection subsides. Usually, viral infections give fever for at least 3 or 4 days.

But there is no confirmed rule that in how many days, the child becomes afebrile.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Varinder Joshi , General & Family Physician
