What should we do next for my father, who continues to have a fever, cold, and cough after his first vaccine dose despite a negative rapid test, and is Meftal 250 DT the correct medication to treat his recurring fever?
Since post-vaccine side effects typically resolve within two to three days, his ongoing symptoms could indicate a coincidental viral infection. While Meftal 250 DT (mefenamic acid) can reduce fever, it is a pediatric strength and may not be the most effective or appropriate choice for an adult. Paracetamol is generally preferred and safer for managing adult fevers. Please ensure he rests and stays well-hydrated. I highly recommend consulting a doctor for a proper evaluation and to discuss if a PCR test is needed to rule out other infections.
