Please do not give Meftal Forte to your 6-year-old. Meftal Forte is an adult-strength medication containing mefenamic acid and paracetamol, and this dose is much too high and unsafe for a child weighing 20 kg. Giving this could lead to a dangerous overdose. For your child's safety, please consult a pediatrician to get the correct pediatric formulation and dosage of paracetamol or ibuprofen suited for their weight.

Your ongoing mild fever and morning loose stools, especially after taking azithromycin, could be due to a disruption in your gut's healthy bacteria (gut dysbiosis) caused by the antibiotic, or a persistent mild gut infection. Sometimes, medications like Meftal Forte can also irritate the stomach. Since these symptoms have lasted 15 days, it is important to stay well-hydrated with oral rehydration solutions. I highly recommend consulting a doctor for simple blood and stool tests to find the exact cause and guide proper recovery.

#N/A

The new abdominal pain could be a side effect of his medications, especially Meftal (mefenamic acid) or Augpen (amoxicillin-clavulanate), which can commonly cause stomach upset. The recurrent fever of 100.8?F suggests the infection is still active. Please contact your pediatrician promptly for a physical evaluation of his tummy and ears. They may recommend adjusting his doses, switching the mefenamic acid to a gentler medicine like paracetamol, or prescribing a stomach-protective medication.

Since his cough and fever haven't improved after two days on Zerotuss, Ambrolite-S, and Meftal-P (mefenamic acid), please have him evaluated by a pediatrician. Combining different cough formulations can sometimes be unsafe for a two-year-old, and a doctor needs to listen to his chest to rule out any deeper lung infection. For now, keep him comfortable, offer plenty of fluids, and seek professional medical care promptly so he can get the right treatment and start recovering.

Yes, Mefkind-P and Meftal-P are acceptable substitutes as both contain the same active ingredient, mefenamic acid. A one-time double dose of 5 mL is usually well-tolerated by infants, though it may cause mild stomach upset or sleepiness. For now, keep your baby well-hydrated and closely monitor them for any vomiting, unusual drowsiness, or discomfort. To be completely safe, please contact your pediatrician or local clinic immediately with your baby's weight so they can confirm the next steps.
