What Is The Advisable Dosage Of Meftal-p For Babies?

My son (1yr 5months, male, 11Kg) is having viral fever and he is taking p125 and the fever is now 102F, My doctor has suggested Meftal-p (each 5 ml contains 100mg mefenamic acid) for high fever. I just misplaced the prescription and forgot the dosage told by doctor. Please let me know the dosage of meftal-p for my baby.
Thanks in advance
