[|Human|] My daughter (8 years and body weight 20 kgs) has fever since Wednesday and throat pain. As per my pediatrician gave her Ibugesic Plus and relent with throat lozenses and warm liquids. But since fever did not subside, was asked to begin Syrup Azithral 200 mg since yesterday night 5 ml once daily along with Ibugesic Plus for fever. Pain in throat persists. Wanted to know if Meftal P is a better option over Ibugesic Plus and what would be the dosage? Is Azithral the best medication for these symptoms?
[|AI|]  Hi...she seems to be having a throat infection either bacterial or viral. But anyway as you have started antibiotic (Literal) I suggest you complete the course. I am glad that you have posted the question before starting Metal as it is not recommended in child Chat Doctor. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose 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. Please see the following link where in I have published a scientific publication in a medical journal about not using Metal (Metonymic acid). medind.nic.in/ibv/t10/i5/ibvt10i5p453.pdfHope my answer was helpful for you.
