Can I give my 8-year-old daughter a quarter of a 250mg Meftal Spas tablet for her fever, since she recently had a stomachache and I do not have any paracetamol?

Asked by Female, 35 · 1 day ago

Splitting adult tablets makes it very difficult to give a safe and accurate dose, and the active medicines in it can also irritate her stomach. Since you do not have paracetamol right now, you can gently apply a cool, damp cloth to her forehead or body to help soothe her fever. Please consult a local healthcare professional or pharmacist to obtain the correct pediatric formulation of paracetamol or ibuprofen suited for her weight.
