my baby girl is suffering from urinary infection.i consulted a doctor.she prescribed mefanic acid and antibiotic.i gave 7 ml calpol(150mg) and mefanamic acid 5ml (100mg) in 30 min duration.after that i realized that both medicines have the same function.Does this harm my child(2 year old).
Hi...for fever, 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. You can give antibiotics for urinary infection if it is proven after urine culture. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome.
