What should I do if my 3-year-old child has had a bad cough and a persistent fever that worsens at night for six days, even though I am giving her Calpol and occasionally Meftal?
Since her fever and cough are persisting despite giving Calpol (paracetamol) and occasionally Meftal (mefenamic acid), I highly recommend having her evaluated by a pediatrician promptly. A cough and fever lasting this long, especially worsening at night, needs a professional assessment to check her lungs and rule out infections. Please continue to keep her comfortable and hydrated with plenty of fluids. Avoid giving Meftal frequently without a doctor's guidance, and seek immediate medical attention if she shows signs of rapid or difficult breathing.
