My 2.8-year-old daughter, who weighs 10.4 kg, has had a fluctuating fever since Friday (reaching 103.4?F) that we treated with Crocin and Meftal, but today she seems tired and has a mild cough and cold; how should we manage her medication now, and does she need to be seen by a doctor?
Since her fluctuating fever has lasted for a few days and she is now feeling tired, it is best to have her evaluated by a pediatrician today. This will help identify the cause of her symptoms and ensure she gets the right care. For now, keep her well-hydrated. You can continue paracetamol (Crocin) for comfort, but please avoid alternating with mefenamic acid (Meftal) without a doctor's direct prescription. Seek immediate medical care if she struggles to breathe, becomes extremely lethargic, or is difficult to wake.
