Can i give him Meftal 500 as fever is not comming down with croin .What should be the patterni first i should give crocin and if fever does not come down in 1 hour meftal 500 ,or should i give him meftal 500 only since fever has not come below 100 f since morning.
Brief Answer:
You can repeat crocin 500...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
How long ago did he take crocin tablet? Generally fever comes down after 45 - 90 minutes. If the temperature persist to be high, he can take another half tablet of crocin. That should help in bring fever down.
From the next day, as the fever is high I would suggest combination tablets like Hifenac P (combination of aceclofenac + paracetamol) instead of two medication.
Do not be worried. Viral fever will resolve in few days. If fever persists for more than 3 days, he should report back to the doctor. In the meanwhile along with medications I recommend to drink plenty of fluids. Fruits and vegetables will also help.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
