My 17-month-old son has had a fever between 101 degrees Fahrenheit and 104 degrees Fahrenheit since yesterday. The paediatrician advised giving 5 ml of Ibugesic every 8 hours and Meftal P if the fever does not reduce after 2 hours. It has been 1.5 hours since I gave Ibugesic, and his temperature is still 103 degrees Fahrenheit. When should I give Meftal P, and what is the safe gap between these medicines?
