[|Human|] My 8 month old has fever since 3days. She has difficulty in passing urine and also refuses to take any fluid other than my feed. When we visited her pediatrician we were asked to test her urine(urine routine). there were traces of albumin, appearance was cloudy and 2-4 pus cells. She was asked to give 3ml Oflomac-m syrup morning n evening for 5 days for infection. Along with that Aminol drops 1ml every 4-6hrs as per her temperature. Its the third day today and her fever is back after 7-8 hrs with temp varing from 98.5 - 100.4 F. Pediatrician asked to stop Aminol drops and start meftal p syrup 2.5ml 6-8 hrs. will this change cause any problem? which is better medicine for fever Aminol or Meftal p or any other drops? since birth we were using Aminol drops for fever.
[|AI|]  HI... Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Meftal-P contains Metonymic acid which is a NSAID. It carries the risk of gastritis and renal problems in the long run. Please do not use Metal. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time.
