How can I safely reduce a fever that is still 101?F after already giving half a Dolo tablet and Meftal 250?

Asked by Male, 8 · 14 days ago

Since you have already given both Dolo (paracetamol) and Meftal (mefenamic acid), do not give any more medication right now to avoid an accidental overdose. Instead, you can safely cool him down by gently sponging his forehead and body with lukewarm water. Keep him dressed in light clothing, offer plenty of fluids to keep him hydrated, and ensure the room is comfortably cool. Please contact your pediatrician before giving any further doses of these medicines to ensure safe timing and correct dosing for his weight.
