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.
Dear Dr. My 4 years(13 kg) daugher is suffering from fever for last 4 days. We are giving crocin (6 ml) and and if the temparature is more than 102 then we are giving meftal P (2.5ml). For her age and weight, how much ml of meftal P can given at time and at what frequecy ?
Hi, if fever is not relieved in half hour after giving crocin then meftal P 5 ml should be given. However, since your child has fever for 4 days, i suggest you to do some blood tests like CBC, Malarial antigen test, NS1 Antigen test. Treatment will depend on above reports. Regards - Dr Deepak Patel, MD Pediatrics
