How Often Can Meftal-P Be Given To Children?
Hello! My twin daughters 4 1/2 years of age have had fever for three days, quite high 102 last night.... I was giving Cronin DS which kind of stopped having any effect..... So I instead gave them MEFTAL-P and that got the fever down. I know that I avoid NSAID as far as I can. Is it ok for young children to have this medicine and how frequently can they be dosed with MEFTAL-P? Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can give Meftal-P syrup instead of Crocin-DS. Both are equally effective for fever.
If required, you can give at an interval of 6 to 8 hours. Give enough water and liquids to keep him well hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ramesh M.Vachharajani
