Hi
Meftal P contains Mefenamic Acid and Paracetamol. You have not mentioned the age and also syrup or tablet. But Meftal P can be taken 6hrly and is usually not given in children below 14 yrs of age. If adult , instaed of Meftal P , Calpol 500mg 6hrly is better. If fever is more severe, Calpol 650mg 6hrly can be given.
