While Meftal-Forte (mefenamic acid and paracetamol) can temporarily relieve pain, using it every five to six days for severe, migraine-like headaches is not the best long-term approach. Frequent use of this medication can lead to medication-overuse headaches and stomach irritation. Since your headaches are frequent, you would likely benefit more from specific migraine-targeting treatments or preventive therapies rather than relying on temporary pain relievers. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional to get an accurate diagnosis and a safe, effective treatment plan.

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.

A chipped crown on an older root canal can allow bacteria to seep in, potentially causing a deep infection or abscess at the tooth's root. This buildup of pressure often causes severe, shooting pain that radiates to neighboring teeth, which is why standard pain relievers like paracetamol and mefenamic acid aren't working. For temporary relief, try rinsing gently with warm salt water, avoiding chewing on that side, and applying a cold compress to your cheek. Because this likely requires professional treatment, please contact a dentist as soon as possible for an urgent appointment.

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.

For her loose stools, the most important step is keeping her hydrated. Please offer her Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and plenty of fluids. Antibiotics are generally not necessary for sudden loose stools and fever, as these are often caused by self-limiting viral infections. Since you are already giving Calpol and Meftal P, please ensure you space them safely as advised by her doctor to avoid overmedication. It is best to have her evaluated by a pediatrician before starting any new medications or antibiotics.

Since her fever returned to 102.5?F after using Calpol and Meftal, please consult a pediatrician promptly for a proper evaluation. Avoid giving extra doses of these medications without medical guidance to ensure safe dosing. In the meantime, keep her comfortable by dressing her in light clothing, offering plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, and using lukewarm water sponging to help gently lower her temperature. Seek immediate emergency medical care if she becomes unusually lethargic, has difficulty breathing, or shows any signs of extreme distress.
