Meftal Forte contains mefenamic acid and paracetamol. Since you are already taking paracetamol, adding Meftal Forte can lead to an unsafe double dose of paracetamol, which can strain your liver. At 58, mefenamic acid must also be used cautiously to protect your stomach and kidneys. Please avoid taking it without consulting your doctor first. For now, try cool compresses, drink plenty of fluids, and reach out to your healthcare provider for a safer alternative to manage your fever.
