Please be reassured that this is a normal part of how the body fights infections. Medicines like Meftal (mefenamic acid) only temporarily bring the temperature down; they do not cure the underlying infection. As the medication wears off after a few hours, the fever may naturally rise again. For now, focus on keeping her comfortable, offer plenty of fluids, and dress her in light clothing. Please consult your pediatrician to find the cause of the infection and ensure she is getting the correct dose for her weight.
