You should Maintain a gap of 5 hours between the doses of antipyretics. You may do the cold sponging of whole body and forehead to bring down the temperature.

You have not mentioned age of the child. As advised do sponging with normal tap water. You can give meftal P after 4 hours but if fever is not coming down with medicine then consult local pediatrician.
