It is very important to have him evaluated by a pediatrician immediately. While Meftal P (mefenamic acid) temporarily reduces his temperature, a prolonged fever requires a professional medical examination to identify and treat the underlying cause. Please do not give further doses without medical advice. For now, keep him comfortable, offer frequent feeds of breastmilk or formula to prevent dehydration, and dress him in cool, lightweight clothing. Please seek professional medical care right away.
