It is quite common for medications like Meftal-B (mefenamic acid) to cause mild stomach irritation or growling. Also, please note that Calpol and Neomol both contain paracetamol; giving both together can risk an accidental overdose, so please consult your pediatrician about the correct dosing. To help soothe his tummy, offering warm water or small, frequent bland meals is safest. While a few sips of strained, weak Ajwain water are generally safe, it is best to avoid strong home remedies right now. If he develops stomach pain, vomiting, or poor appetite, please have him evaluated by his doctor.

Is it safe to take Meftal 250 and No-Pain 30 tablets together to help with the side effects of Ovral L?

It is generally not safe to take Meftal 250 (mefenamic acid) and No-Pain 30 (ketorolac) together. Both of these are pain relievers belonging to the NSAID class, and combining them significantly increases the risk of severe stomach irritation, acidity, or ulcers. To safely manage cramps or pain, it is best to use only one pain reliever, such as mefenamic acid alone. Please consult your doctor to discuss these side effects so they can safely guide your treatment.

What should I do if my 5-year-old daughter's cough and fever have not improved after giving her Ascoril D and Meftal P since yesterday?

Please be reassured that it often takes 48 to 72 hours for viral illnesses to start improving. Since you only started Meftal P (mefenamic acid) and Ascoril D yesterday, it may take a little more time to see a full recovery. Ensure she gets plenty of rest and stays well-hydrated. Keep tracking her temperature and follow the exact dosing schedule recommended by your doctor. If her fever remains high, she develops breathing difficulties, or seems very lethargic, please consult her pediatrician promptly for a physical evaluation.

Why does my child's fever keep coming back a few hours after I give them Meftal?

Please be reassured that this is a normal part of how the body fights infections. Medicines like Meftal (mefenamic acid) only temporarily bring the temperature down; they do not cure the underlying infection. As the medication wears off after a few hours, the fever may naturally rise again. For now, focus on keeping her comfortable, offer plenty of fluids, and dress her in light clothing. Please consult your pediatrician to find the cause of the infection and ensure she is getting the correct dose for her weight.

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

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.

What should I do for left shoulder joint pain caused by improper lifting four days ago, since Volini and a Meftal tablet have not helped?

Since improper lifting triggered this four days ago, you likely have a muscle strain or ligament sprain. Since the Volini gel and Meftal (mefenamic acid) haven't brought relief, the most important step right now is to rest your left arm completely and avoid lifting. Applying ice packs wrapped in a towel for 15 minutes, three times a day, can help reduce inflammation. Please consult a doctor or physical therapist for a proper physical examination to rule out a deeper injury. If you experience severe weakness, numbness, or worsening pain, seek medical care promptly.

Is it safe to give my child Ambrodil Plus for their cough when they have already taken two doses of Dollo 250 and one dose of Meftal P for a high fever today?

It is generally safe to give Ambrodil Plus (which contains ambroxol and terbutaline) alongside Dollo 250 (paracetamol) and Meftal P (mefenamic acid), as these medications do not directly interact. However, because he has already received two different fever medicines today, it is very important to strictly follow the specific doses and timing intervals prescribed by your pediatrician to prevent any strain on his stomach or kidneys. Please keep him well-hydrated, and consult his doctor if the fever persists or if he seems unusually drowsy.
