Taken Paracetamol For Foot Sprain. Had Mitral Valve Replacement. Bleeding Gums, High PT Level. Safe Medicine?

My wife was operated for mitral valve replacement in April 2012 and is on acitrom since then, she had sprain on her left foot and had taken paracetamol plus nimuselide combination, she developed bleeding through gums after that and her PT shooted to 1.26 minutes. Kindly suggest the appropriate and safe medicine to administer in such condition, and I would appreciate if you suggest the antibiotics and other allergic medicines she could take safely in the future. Thanks.

Dear Concerned.,

Thanks for writing to us.,

You should immediately stop Nimesulide(hepatotoxic-first reported in Portugal) containing combination as the same is banned in many countries.The combination of Paracetamol and Nimesulide is much more hepatotoxic.

If the ankle sprain/foot sprain is proved ,please use a simple medical application,age-old but effective Ichthamol Glycerine// soaked Gauze on the site with a crape bandage for support.

Opioid Analgesics such as Tramadol per oral after food.

Rest to the part for 3-4 days and then Physiotherapy.

Wishing you speedy recovery.,

Best Regards.,

Dr Lt Cdr ASN Bhushan.
