POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. If your child's fever is 102°F and is not coming down even after giving Meftal-P (mefenamic acid), you can consider using an anal suppository like Paracetamol, but only if your doctor has previously prescribed or approved it for emergency use.
Here’s what to do:
Make sure your child is hydrated with small sips of water or fluids. Keep the room cool and ventilated. Use a cold, damp cloth on the forehead, armpits, and legs. If fever persists beyond 4–6 hours or goes higher, or your child seems very drowsy, irritable, or has other symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not use suppositories without medical advice if it hasn’t been recommended earlier. Always follow the right dosage for your child’s age and weight.
