Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My daughter is suffering from a fever. Her weight is 29 kg, and her temperature is 102 degrees Fahrenheit. What would be the dose of Meftal P needed for her? At what intervals she has to take the medication?
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
I would not recommend using Meftal (Mefenamic acid) unless required for a child. So if you must, then 7.5 ml once daily would be safe. It can be given twice daily, but I recommend it only once. Continue tepid sponging and check for any rash or back pain. Even if there is a headache or joint pain, take her to the hospital. Also, keep her well-hydrated. Do not give her any other painkillers like Aspirin or NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.
Thank you.
