Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Many Times 'meftal-P' Can Be Given To A Child For Fever?
Hello Doc My baby is 11 mnths old . She was born a premie ( 28 weeks). About 2 mnths ago she had high fever vch caused her seizures ( febrile seizures). From then on the docs said v shud be careful whenever she gets fever and should not let her body temp rise. From the past one week she is suffering from Viral fever n cold. Took her to the doc and she suggested Wikoryl(0.7 ml TDS). but still her temp keeps going to 100 or 99. on an SOS basis v give her Meftal-P(1.5 ml). Pls suggest how many tyms v can give Meftal in a day. N to what degree in temp is safe for her. I feel v r give too much much of medication to avoid rise in temperature.
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Meftal P can be given six hourly basis.
Tepid water sponging should be immediately started.Sponging is of quite help ful in such sittuation during active seizures also.
Hope the query is answered.
