Hi, My little champ is 1 year old and having fever around 101.1 after stomach infection. Doctor prescribed meftal p tablet in case of high fever. My champ is reluctant to take dissolved tablets and start crying immediately after giving medicine. He always start searching for breastfeed. Can I give him dissolved tablet of meftal p and then breastfeed just after that so that he can digest the tablet with breastfeed?? Please advice.

Q. My 8 year old daughter is having high fever and throat infection. Doctor prescribed meftal P if fever increased beyond 101 F. Her fever reached 102 F in evening. When she was taking meftal P she vommited immediately after consuming it along with other things she has eaten. so effectively all meftal P came out. We started leg/head sponging after that with which her fever reached around 100 F after 2 hours of continuously doing it. Can we again repeat meftal P or wait for 6 hours to complete. Also can we give paracetamol now for reduced fever.please suggest
