Suggest Dosage For Domstal While Having Viral Fever

iMy daughter is 7 years and has been having Viral fever from 3 days. We have been giving calpol 10 ml every 6 hrs and if fever is above 102 we are giving Meftal. From yesterday she feels nauseatic after meals. Is it safe to give Domstal one hour before meals. If yes, how many times should we give and what s the dosage. Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, "Fever is friend for children" it should only be reduce when it above 100 F prior to anti-pyretic it is better to try cold sponging, 2.5 mg to 5 mg per kg as per needed can be tried, frequent anti-pyretic (Calpol) is not advisable hope this information helps.
