Nothing wrong if you continue 1/2 dose 2-3 times a day for 2 days or so but don’t increase the duration of therapy. Don’t give it in empty stomach. Can give some ppi as anti ulcer like lanzol junior etc. Talk to your doctor. As meftal is an anti inflammatory too. Give your child vitamin d supplements if necessary.
