Taking Meftal Forte (which contains mefenamic acid and paracetamol) three times a day is generally not recommended without a doctor's supervision. Mefenamic acid can be harsh on your stomach and kidneys, especially during viral infections when dehydration is common. For managing fever safely, plain paracetamol is usually a gentler and safer option. Please ensure you stay well-hydrated. I strongly recommend consulting your doctor to evaluate this fever and guide you on the safest dosage and treatment for your recovery.
