The medication Meftal is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. In this case, since the fever is still high at 102F after taking Meftal, you can consider giving your child Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) at a dose appropriate for their age and weight. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your doctor. Additionally, make sure your child stays hydrated and dress them lightly to help reduce the fever. If the fever persists or if your child's condition worsens, please consult your doctor for further evaluation.
