She has had a fever and runny nose for 2 days. I'm using MEFTAL-P and Maxtra P.

Asked by Male, 28 · 2 months ago

For a baby with a fever and a runny nose for 2 days, do not continue MEFTAL-P or Maxtra-P unless a paediatrician has prescribed them. Please see a paediatrician for the right medicine and correct dose based on your baby?s age and weight.

  1. MEFTAL-P (Mefenamic Acid 100mg/5ml)

    • Description: MEFTAL-P contains mefenamic acid, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking enzymes that cause inflammation, helping to reduce pain and fever.
    • Uses: It is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever.

    • Description: Maxtra P is a combination medication that includes:
      • Paracetamol, which reduces fever and pain,
      • Phenylephrine, a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages to relieve congestion,
      • Chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine that helps reduce allergy symptoms like runny nose and sneezing.
    • Uses: It is used to treat symptoms of the common cold such as fever, runny or stuffy nose, headache, and body aches.
