Parad (Mercury) tablet contamination in jowar flour is a serious concern.

Potential Side Effects

Mercury poisoning

Gastrointestinal problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)

Kidney damage

Neurological issues (tremors, memory loss, mood changes)

Action Plan

Seek medical attention immediately for anyone who consumed the contaminated flour.

Do not consume the remaining flour. Destroy it to prevent further contamination.

Clean and disinfect the grinding machine and surrounding area.

Wash hands thoroughly after handling the contaminated flour.

Prevention is key

Store Parad tablets safely, away from food items.

Handle and grind food items in a dedicated, clean area.

I'm currently down with a fever of 102 degrees and seeing as I'm breastfeeding, I'm a bit anxious about the medications I'm on. I've been prescribed Dolo 650 every 8 hours along with Sinarest in the morning and night, plus Cepodem XP also in the morning and night. Is it safe to take Dolo 650 and Sinarest together while breastfeeding?

Yes you can take it...there is no contraindication of paracetamol during breast feeding
