What are the appropriate management steps and clinical considerations for a six-year-old child with a persistent high fever of 102?103?F that is slow to respond to antipyretics like Meftal-P?

Asked by Female, 39 · 9 days ago

For a six-year-old with a fever of 102?103?F slow to respond to Meftal-P (mefenamic acid), the key is keeping them comfortable and well-hydrated with water, clear soups, or oral rehydration solutions. You can also apply lukewarm water compresses to help lower their temperature safely. Please do not give additional doses or alternative medications without medical advice. Since the fever is persistent, it is highly recommended to have them evaluated by a pediatrician to safely identify the underlying cause and ensure a prompt recovery.
