My son is of 4 years... And he got 102 fever ....I gave mental P of 5 ml...The fever came down to normal within 30 minutes...But again he got high temperature of 103 within 4 hours....I am giving p125 syrup in every 6 hours interval....What is the interval for mental P?
Hi....for fever - Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Meftal-P contains Metonymic acid which is a NSAID. It carries the risk of gastritis and renal problems in the long run. Please do not use Metal. Regards -
