Question: can meftal p be given in dengue?
Answer: Avoid use of Mefenamicacid (meftal), aspirin and ibuprofen (ibugesic) as much as possible as these drugs interfere with platelet functioning. Encourage the intake of plenty of liquids-(milk, fresh juice, tender coconut water, kanji). The ability to tolerate oral feeds in a child with dengue is a good sign!
