Can I give my 8-year-old daughter Ibugesic Plus syrup for her severe cold? She's 20 kgs. I'm really unsure about how to help her feel better. Any advice would be great.

My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

My baby has been having a fever since Wednesday, and the doctor gave us Meftal P syrup because her temperature is pretty high. I'm wondering, is it okay to give her the syrup every six hours or every four hours since her fever isn't coming down? I'm really concerned about making sure she's comfortable and getting better.
For children, Meftal P syrup can be given every 6-8 hours as needed for fever. The usual recommended dosage is 7-10 mg per kg of body weight per dose. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for the exact dosage based on your baby's weight and age. Make sure not to exceed the maximum daily dose.
