I'm really worried about my daughter who's been struggling with pneumonia for the last six years. She had a really bad attack and was admitted to the hospital. Over the past two years, she's been having chest pain and coughs a lot, especially when someone taps on her back. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What do you think might be causing this, and are there any specific steps I should be taking to help her get better?

My child has a really high fever, and their temperature is at 102F. The doctor suggested giving them Meftal, but even after taking one dose, the fever hasn't gone down. What should I do next, should I keep giving the medication or try something else? I'm really worried and could use some advice.

The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.
