What should I do for my 6-year-old son who has been getting frequent fevers over the last two months despite having normal blood and urine tests, and is it safe to keep alternating Calpol and Meftal-P to manage his temperature?

While alternating Calpol (paracetamol) and Meftal-P (mefenamic acid) can safely manage spikes under a doctor's guidance, using them continuously for two months is not recommended without a clear diagnosis. Frequent use can sometimes strain his stomach or kidneys. Since his initial blood and urine tests are normal?which is very reassuring?it is best to consult his pediatrician for a more detailed evaluation. Please keep a daily diary of his temperatures and any other symptoms to help his doctor find the exact cause.
