The dosage of Meftal (mefenamic acid) syrup for high fever in children typically depends on the child's weight and age. It's essential to follow the dosage instructions provided by your pediatrician or on the medication label. However, as a general guideline, the usual dosage for children aged 6 months to 12 years is around 5 to 10 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, given every 6 to 8 hours, as needed. Always consult with a healthcare professional before administering any medication to a child, especially for fever management.
