Hi doctor,My son is 3 years 3 months old and weighs 14.1 kg. His fever, cough, and cold started from 100.3, so we gave Crocin 240 mg / 5 mL syrup 4 mL every 6 hours on the first day. As it was a viral fever, it was 103.5 at night. The doctor told us to continue 4 mL for 4 hours and give a sponge bath, and if the temperature is more than 102, Meftal-P 100 mg suspension 6 mL is prescribed. Today at 10 AM it was 102.5 (it was 101.3 4 hours back ), so we gave Meftal 6 mL, and within 30 min he became active. The dose is not printed in bottle unlike in Crocin, so I want to double check the dose 6 mL for every 4 hours if it is 102.5.
Hi. Please give Meftal 5 mL (6 hourly) if the temperature is above 101 F or if not controlled on Crocin (Paracetamol). You can give Meftal (Mefenamic acid) 4 hours after giving Crocin.
