Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Yes, Meftal-P is recommended for children below the age of 12, and can be used for very high grade fever. But it is best to consult the baby's pediatrician and proceed with the drug under his care.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.

Hi, as read in a couple of newspapers, aspirin and combiflam is not advisable, just wanted to find if meftal-p is not from the same family ?

No, Meftal P has mefenamic acid. It is a different derivative.
Normally given in high fevers.
Regards.
