[|Human|] Hi, my daughter is 20 months old and weighs 10.7kg.she has been running highfever since last nightalong with vommiting. my doc has prescribed onden, zifi and crocin. after giving crocin also the fever has not come down. I was asked to give meftal if she still has high fever. what i want to know is after how long(hours) can i give meftal. crocin was given at 8pm, and even after 4  hours the fever is 102.6
[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for the question. There are different ways to give them. I usually advice patients to give Cronin every 6 hourly. Once you give Cronin wait for an hour to see if fever subsides is it is not coming down then give metal. And the other way is if temperature becomes normal and then child develops fever again before next dose of Cronin (suppose say 2-3 hrs before next dose of Cronin) then give metal instead of Cronin. You can rotate the both of them, and you should try to maintain a gap of at least 5-6 hrs between every dose of either metal or Cronin. The other way is give Cronin every 6hrs for example 6am, 12pm, 6pm, 12am and metal every 6hrs at these timings 10am, 4pm, 10pm, 4am.
