Question 1

My 4-year-old has had a continuous fever for the past 5 days. The doctor prescribed Meftol P and paracetamol, but he still seems to have a high fever. We did a basic blood test which showed no issues. How long might it take for him to recover?

Question 2

My son has had a fever since yesterday afternoon and I gave him paracetamol, which seemed to help for a bit. This morning, we saw a doctor nearby who advised on cidaflox 100 and macfast syrup. But now, his fever is up to 102. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Cidaflox-100: This is an antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin) that is often used for bacterial infections. Ensure that you give the full course as prescribed, even if the fever improves. Don't stop the medication early unless instructed by the doctor.
Macfast Syrup: This is typically used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms or inflammation  if  the fever continues to rise despite medication, or if new symptoms develop (e.g., rash, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, severe headache, or persistent pain), consult a doctor immediately.
If your son experiences any side effects or signs of an allergic reaction to the medication (such as rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing), stop the medication and seek medical attention right away.Continue paracetamol as per the prescribed dosage for fever control.
Ensure hydration and rest.
Monitor symptoms regularly, especially if the fever persists or worsens.
Consult the doctor if the fever does not respond to treatment, or if new symptoms develop.

I'm a bit worried about my 14-year-old daughter. She weighs 52 kg and currently has a fever of 100F. I have some dolo 650 tablets at home and was wondering if it's alright to give her one. Could you please advise?
