Meftal Spas (mefenamic acid and dicyclomine) is generally safe for short-term relief of period cramps when used as directed. However, because your pain is severe enough to keep you in bed, it is highly recommended to consult a gynecologist. They can help identify the root cause, such as endometriosis, and guide you on safer, more effective long-term treatment options. Please ensure you do not take this medication on an empty stomach to avoid gastric irritation.

Yes, an adult can take Meftal 500 (mefenamic acid) twice a day, preferably after meals to protect your stomach. Since paracetamol isn't fully helping, mefenamic acid is a reasonable alternative to help bring down your 101?F fever. Please ensure you do not take both medications at the exact same time; leave at least a 4-to-6-hour gap if alternating them. Other helpful options include lukewarm water sponging, drinking plenty of fluids, and getting rest. If your fever persists beyond three days or you feel worse, please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.

Since her high fever of 103?F has lasted for two days and is not settling with Calpol (paracetamol) or Meftal P (mefenamic acid), she needs to be evaluated by a healthcare professional promptly. Her weakness and inability to eat suggest she may be getting dehydrated. Please take her to a doctor or clinic today for a proper physical exam and potential blood tests. In the meantime, encourage her to take small, frequent sips of water or oral rehydration solutions (ORS), and use lukewarm water sponging to help soothe her. Seeking professional care now is the safest step.

It is very common for teenagers to experience a ringing or echoing sensation after a cold. This often happens because fluid gets trapped behind the eardrum (Eustachian tube dysfunction). While he has been using Meftal (mefenamic acid), ofloxacin, and Candibiotic drops, these may not fully clear fluid buildup. Please rest assured this is usually temporary. I highly recommend having a pediatrician or ENT specialist examine his ears to check the eardrum before continuing the ear drops. In the meantime, keep him well-hydrated and avoid inserting anything into his ears.

Yes, admission was a safe and necessary decision. A high fever of 103?F with pus cells in the urine points to a urinary tract infection. In children, these infections can quickly spread to the kidneys if not treated properly. While oral medicines like Crocin (paracetamol) and Meftal P (mefenamic acid) control the fever, intravenous antibiotics given in the hospital ensure the infection is cleared rapidly and safely.

Fainting due to dehydration, especially when combined with a reaction to a medication like Meftal (mefenamic acid), can sometimes trigger a brief, seizure-like event. Since her doctor is already involved, please follow their advice closely. For now, ensure she stays well-hydrated and avoids taking Meftal again. While she is recovering well, please seek immediate medical attention if she experiences any further fainting, confusion, or unusual weakness.
