What should we do for my mother's fever that has lasted 4 to 5 days and is stuck at 100?F despite taking Meftal and Dolo, and why is her blood pressure now low even though she takes medication for high blood pressure?
A persistent fever for 5 days despite using Dolo (paracetamol) and Meftal (mefenamic acid) suggests an underlying infection that needs a doctor's evaluation. Her low blood pressure could be due to dehydration from the fever or a reaction to her blood pressure medications while she is unwell. Please consult her doctor before giving her next blood pressure dose. Keep her hydrated with small sips of water or electrolyte solutions, and seek immediate medical attention to safely manage her symptoms and find the cause of the fever.
