My 3 year old daughter has fever. Meftal and Novamox safe?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I will not recommend Meftal (Mefenamic acid) or Novamox (Amoxicillin) at this time. There are many different reasons for fever at this age including viral infections, upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections. A fever means the body is trying to fight infection. And it is fine to give fever medication like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for fever.

How to treat red itchy bumps due to mosquito bite?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. This is the normal reaction to mosquito bites. Please wash with soap and water and apply Cortisone cream (Hydrocortisone) two times a day for three to five days. You can also give about half a teaspoon of Benadryl (Diphenhydramine HCl) once a day as needed for itching. Please use full sleeve shirt and pants when moving outside.
