What medication can safely and effectively lower a recurring 101-degree fever and relieve joint pain in a 60-year-old woman, when Crocin only works for four hours and she is unable to walk to the doctor?
Since Crocin (paracetamol) is wearing off in four hours, you can safely administer it every four to six hours, ensuring she does not exceed 4,000 mg a day. Please encourage her to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and use cool compresses to help soothe the fever. Because the fever is recurring and she has joint pain, it is very important to have her evaluated. I highly recommend arranging a teleconsultation or a doctor's home visit so she can receive a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment without needing to travel.
