Hi,
There is no problem giving Mefenenic acid syrup as needed for few days.
Give enough water as well.
But important is to find out the cause of fever continue since 4 days.
Go for complete blood checking like TC, DC, Platelet count, urine check up etc.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
Ok and take care.
