What safe alternative fever medicines and foods for recovery can I give my father, who has COVID-19, high blood pressure, and Hepatitis B, and is exhausted and barely eating after taking paracetamol 650 every 5 to 6 hours alongside his daily blood pressure and liver medicines, Montair, vitamin C, zinc, and giloy?
For fever, paracetamol remains safest, but with Hepatitis B, please limit his total daily dose to under 2,000 mg (about three 650 mg tablets) to protect his liver. Avoid other pain relievers like ibuprofen. Consider pausing Giloy, as it can sometimes strain the liver. For recovery, offer small, frequent portions of easy-to-digest, nutrient-rich foods like lentil soup (khichdi), yogurt, porridge, and coconut water for hydration. Ensure he continues his daily blood pressure and liver medicines. Since he is barely eating and very weak, please consult his doctor promptly to monitor his liver and oxygen levels safely.
