An upper stomach ache that spreads to your chest, especially at night, is often related to acid reflux, gastritis, or irritation of the stomach lining. While Meftal might offer temporary relief, pain relievers like it can sometimes actually irritate your stomach lining further if used repeatedly. It is best to avoid self-medicating and see a doctor for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, try eating smaller, bland meals, avoid lying down immediately after eating, and elevate your head slightly at night. Please consult a healthcare professional soon so you can find lasting relief and get some well-deserved rest.

Since his fever has reached 103.5?F and isn't coming down despite giving paracetamol (P250) and mefenamic acid (Meftal P), it is best to have him evaluated by a pediatrician today. Persistent high fevers require a professional assessment to find the cause and ensure he receives the correct treatment and dosage. In the meantime, keep him hydrated with plenty of fluids, dress him in lightweight clothing, and use lukewarm water to gently sponge him to help him feel comfortable.

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.

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.

Since it has been 12 days and your low fever has resolved, it is generally safe for you to end your isolation. You are also eligible to get your COVID-19 vaccine now, provided you have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without using fever-reducing medications like Meftal (mefenamic acid). The use of ivermectin and doxy (doxycycline) does not delay your vaccination once you have recovered. I recommend checking in with your doctor to confirm your recovery before vaccination.

Meftal (mefenamic acid) is helpful, but if the fever persists every four hours, it is very important to consult your pediatrician right away. They can safely evaluate him and advise if alternating with another medication like paracetamol is appropriate. In the meantime, keep him comfortable by offering plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and using lukewarm water sponging to gently help cool his body. Please seek immediate medical care if he becomes unusually sleepy, has trouble breathing, or cannot keep fluids down.
