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.

I understand this can be distressing, but there are very effective options available. For pain and to help reduce blood flow, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or mefenamic acid are commonly used. To specifically target and reduce heavy bleeding, a medication called tranexamic acid can be taken during her period. Hormonal treatments, such as oral contraceptive pills or a progesterone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD), are also excellent long-term options to lighten periods and ease cramps. Please have her consult a gynecologist for a proper evaluation to find the safest and most suitable prescription for her.

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.

Yes, this can be quite normal. Children's bodies respond differently to medications. Meftal (mefenamic acid) may sometimes be less effective for some children, while the combination of Ibufen (ibuprofen) and paracetamol works through complementary pathways to lower fever more successfully. Please ensure you are dosing correctly based on her weight and keeping her hydrated. Always consult your pediatrician to guide the correct dosing intervals and to ensure she is evaluated safely if the fever persists.

To help flush out the stone, drink plenty of water?aim for 2 to 3 liters daily. Citrus fluids like lemon water can also be beneficial. Since your pain returns after your Meftal (mefenamic acid) wears off, it is important to see a doctor. They can perform an ultrasound and may prescribe medications like alpha-blockers to relax your urinary tract, making it easier for the stone to pass. Please seek immediate care if you experience fever, severe vomiting, or find yourself unable to pass urine.

Since she took Meftal (mefenamic acid) a week ago and the frequent pooping only started two days ago, it is highly unlikely to be a side effect of the medication, as it would have already cleared her system. This mild diarrhea is more likely due to a minor stomach bug or a recent dietary change. Please ensure she stays well-hydrated with plenty of fluids like oral rehydration solutions. If the loose stools continue for more than a few days, or if she develops a fever, vomiting, or signs of dehydration, please consult her pediatrician.
