I'm really worried about my mom. She was having viral and we were giving her paracetamol like the doctor said, but her fever went up to 103 on the third night. We talked to the doctor, and he told us to give her Meftal 250 mg. The next morning, she had excessive gas and stomach pain, and then she fainted and had a seizure for 35 seconds, which has never happened before. The doctor thinks it might be a reaction to the Meftal or maybe because she was dehydrated. She's doing better now, but should I be really concerned about this?

The seizure-like episode your mother experienced, likely due to a reaction to Meftal (Mefenamic acid) and dehydration, is a serious concern, as it may indicate a predisposition to seizures or a neurological issue; schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the incident, and consider consulting a neurologist for further evaluation and guidance to prevent future episodes.
