If your child still has a fever despite taking Zifi 100 DT along with mefenic and paracetamol, it may take some time for the antibiotic to take effect fully. Continue giving the medicines exactly as prescribed and ensure good hydration and rest. If the fever persists for more than 2-3 days after starting the antibiotic or new symptoms appear, you should contact the doctor for a review.

Zifi 100 DT (Cefixime 100mg):
- An antibiotic for bacterial infections.
- Not effective for reducing fever directly.
Why it might not be helping the fever:
- Fever can be caused by viral infections, which antibiotics like Cefixime do not treat.
Role of Mefenamic acid and Paracetamol:
- Used to reduce fever and relieve pain.
- If fever persists, the underlying cause may need further evaluation.
Next steps:
- Consult a pediatrician for persistent fever to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
- Avoid unnecessary antibiotic use, as they are only effective against bacterial infections.
