Hi I can understand your concern...
Mostly here you have congestive symptoms by viral flu....
If I am not wrong the drug you are saying is sumo which is nimesulide drug.....
For relief from fever nimesulide should not used....this drug also banned in some country...
According to me take paracetamol like safe drug for it....
Along with antihistaminic drug can be given..
As far as dose of nimesulide concern this tablet can be taken once or twice daily....
