To help comfort him, you can apply a warm, damp compress to his ear and keep him upright to ease pressure. Regarding Meftal P (mefenamic acid), it is crucial to consult your pediatrician before administering it. Generally, paracetamol or ibuprofen are preferred first-line options for a three-year-old's ear pain. If your doctor prescribes mefenamic acid, strictly follow the weight-based dosage to prevent stomach upset. Please seek immediate care if he develops a high fever, ear discharge, or swelling behind the ear.
