I understand your concern. Since Crocin DS has not lowered the fever, Meftal-P (Mefenamic Acid) can be used, but the exact dosage depends strictly on your child's weight, not just age. The standard pediatric dose is 4 to 6 mg per kg of body weight, given up to three times daily after food. For example, a child weighing 10 kg would typically require 2.5 ml of Meftal P (100mg/5ml) syrup per dose. Please consult your pediatrician with your child's current weight to get the precise dose. Keep him hydrated and use tepid sponging to help reduce the fever safely.
