I'm a bit worried about my 7-year-old son. I used to give him PEDIASURE, but he started putting on weight and lost his appetite after around three years, so I stopped. I've heard people say that all those drinks are similar, and he was having COMPLAN too, but I've stopped that as well. I'm just trying to figure out what's true and whether I should be adding anything to his milk or just keep it plain. If I should add something, what would be best for him?

Im really worried about my 6-year-old daughter. Shes been running a high fever for the past two days. Our doctor recommended giving her both Calpol and Meftal-P, 6 ml each. Is it okay to administer both of these at the same time?

Yes, it is safe to give Calpol (paracetamol) along with Meftal P (mefenamic acid) for fever in children. Both medications work in different ways to reduce fever and can be given together as per your doctor's recommendation.
