It is generally safe and highly encouraged to continue breastfeeding your baby, even with a fever. Your breast milk actually helps protect your little one by passing on vital antibodies. Regarding your medication, paracetamol (the active ingredient in Dolo 650) is considered very safe to take while breastfeeding. Only a tiny, harmless amount passes into breast milk. Please take it as directed. Remember to stay well-hydrated, rest, and consult your doctor if your fever persists or if you notice any changes in your baby.

What pain relief medication can a 15-year-old boy take for tooth pain?

Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, are generally safe for a 15-year-old when taken according to the recommended dosage. Ibuprofen should be taken with food or milk to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and rinsing with warm salt water may help relieve discomfort. If the tooth pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling or fever, consult a dentist promptly.

I have a slight fever, a dry cough, and a cold, and I took amoxicillin and Dolo 650, but after taking these medicines, I got mouth ulcers. What should I do?

A fever with a dry cough and a cold is often due to a viral infection, and antibiotics may not always be needed. Mouth ulcers can sometimes occur due to irritation, infection, or side effects of medication. Drink plenty of fluids, eat soft foods, and avoid very spicy or acidic items until the ulcers heal. Consult a doctor if the fever or ulcers persist or worsen.

How can I recover from back pain after a fever?

Back pain following a fever may result from muscle strain due to prolonged bed rest, viral infections, or, less commonly, a kidney or spinal infection. Mild cases often improve with rest, gentle stretching, warm compresses, staying well-hydrated, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as paracetamol. However, you should see a doctor immediately if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by unusual symptoms, as these may indicate a serious medical condition requiring prompt treatment.

I am pregnant and thinking of taking Dolo 650. Is it safe for my baby and me?

Fever or pain in pregnancy is usually due to a mild infection or body strain, and Dolo 650 is generally considered safe when used in the right dose. Take it only if needed, follow proper timing, stay hydrated, rest well, and avoid taking extra medicines on your own. Use simple measures like warm fluids and rest to help your body recover. Consult a doctor before taking it to confirm the safe dose and ensure it is suitable for your pregnancy.
