I'm really worried because my little cousin accidentally drank 25 ml of Dettol Antiseptic Liquid that I had in a measurement cup. Its been about half an hour since then, and he just complained of a bit of irritation on his tongue. Theres no abdominal pain or nausea at the moment. He did drink a lot of warm water afterward, but I'm still anxious about whether hell be okay or if any other symptoms might show up. Could you please let me know what I should do?

View allIm really worried about my 6-year-old daughter. Shes been running a high fever for the past two days. Our doctor recommended giving her both Calpol and Meftal-P, 6 ml each. Is it okay to administer both of these at the same time?
Yes, it is safe to give Calpol (paracetamol) along with Meftal P (mefenamic acid) for fever in children. Both medications work in different ways to reduce fever and can be given together as per your doctor's recommendation.

I've been taking Cherifer PGM food supplement for a month now, and I'm wondering what time of day is best to take it. Also, I had to stop for a week because I was on another medication and resumed two weeks later. Is that okay?
You can take Cherifer PGM food supplement at any time of the day, but it is generally recommended to take it after a meal to maximize absorption. As for your situation, it is okay that you stopped taking it for a week and resumed after two weeks. Just continue taking it as directed on the packaging for the best results.
