Father of a 9 yr 10 m old girl12 months ago
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

A. yes can repeat. the first medicine will always be paracetamol and it is given according to weight and power of paracetamol medicine you are having. give liquids and easily digestible food and paracetamol should be given only after food. keep the child in cool environment and avoid using woolen clothes when the child is having fever armpit temperature of hundred or more is considered as fever to body sponge to decrease the surface temperature and should be carried out for at least 20 minutes with normal temperature water. higher medicines (ibugesic / meftal-p) whether required or not will be told by the doctor.
