Is it safe and effective to give my son a combination of Azee XL 200 syrup and Meftal Forte for his sore throat, mild fever, and vomiting, or do I need to change his medication?
Azee XL 200 (azithromycin) is an antibiotic and is only effective if a doctor confirms a bacterial infection. Meftal Forte (mefenamic acid and paracetamol) can help reduce his fever and ease sore throat pain. However, because he is vomiting, oral medications may not stay down and could further irritate his stomach. I gently recommend consulting his pediatrician before administering these medications. For now, focus on keeping him hydrated with frequent, small sips of water or oral rehydration solutions.
