Hi,

You may give her both medications. Her fever will rise and fall as the medications do their job, but then naturally wear off. Crocin will usually last about 4-6 hours and Meftal-p will usually last about 6-8 hours. They are metabolized by the body differently so you can give one, and if her fever returns before the next dose is allowed, then you can give the other. Please write down what times you give each medication to be safe and to be sure that you don't give the same one too frequently and before it is due.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker, Pediatrician
