Can my mother safely take Dolo 500 or Dolo 650 if her fever of 100 degrees has not come down three hours after taking Meftal Forte?

Asked by Female, 72 · 7 days ago

Since Meftal Forte already contains paracetamol alongside mefenamic acid, giving her Dolo 500 or Dolo 650 (which are also paracetamol) just three hours later can lead to an unsafe double-dose of paracetamol. It is best to wait at least 4 to 6 hours between these medications to protect her liver. A fever of 100?F is mild and not immediately harmful. For now, keep her comfortable, offer plenty of fluids, and use cool damp cloth compresses. If her fever rises or she feels increasingly unwell, please consult her doctor before administering any more medication.
