Is it safe to give Meftal P to a 5-year-old child for a fever, how many times a day can it be given, and what medicine should be given in the morning?

Asked by Female, 5 · 8 hours ago

Meftal P (mefenamic acid) is generally safe for a five-year-old, but paracetamol is usually the preferred first choice for fever. Meftal P is typically given up to three times a day, always after food to protect her stomach. For the morning, starting with paracetamol is a gentle and effective option. Please ensure you consult her pediatrician for the exact dose based on her weight before giving any medication.
