Meftal (mefenamic acid) is helpful, but if the fever persists every four hours, it is very important to consult your pediatrician right away. They can safely evaluate him and advise if alternating with another medication like paracetamol is appropriate. In the meantime, keep him comfortable by offering plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and using lukewarm water sponging to gently help cool his body. Please seek immediate medical care if he becomes unusually sleepy, has trouble breathing, or cannot keep fluids down.
