Can I give my father Meftal 500 now if his fever has not gone down one hour after taking Sinarest 500 mg?

Asked by Male, 84 · 14 days ago

Avoid giving him Meftal (mefenamic acid) right now. Sinarest (which contains paracetamol) can take up to two hours to show its full effect. Additionally, giving Meftal so soon, especially to an 84-year-old, can increase the risk of kidney strain and stomach irritation. For now, try comforting him with tepid water sponging on his forehead and body to help lower the temperature naturally, and keep him hydrated. Please consult his doctor before introducing another medication.
