Yes, Meftal P (mefenamic acid) is sometimes used for fever when paracetamol (P250) isn't enough, but it is very important not to self-medicate. Safe dosage depends strictly on your daughter's weight, not just her age. Giving too much medication or mixing them incorrectly can be harmful. Please keep her hydrated, apply cool damp compresses to her forehead, and consult her pediatrician immediately to get the exact weight-based dose for Meftal P and ensure there are no underlying infections.

Is it safe to give Meftal P to my 4-year-old child whose 103?F fever is not coming down with P250, and if so, what is the correct dosage?
