My mom's been running a high fever for the last couple of days. The doctor suggested she take doxcef cv, dolo 650, and meftal 500. She's been on these meds for a bit now, but her fever isnt dropping below 102. Can we give her meftal two hours after she takes dolo? Any advice would be appreciated.

It's generally safe to alternate Dolo 650 and Meftal 500 for fever management, but they should be spaced out by at least 4 hours, not 2 hours. Since her fever is persistent, it might be helpful to contact the doctor again for further evaluation. Keep her hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly.

View allI'm really worried because my 2-year-old daughter has bronchopneumonia, and the doctor recommended Zifi CV 100 for her. Now, I've been coughing for 5 days and I think I might have caught the same thing. Do you think its safe for me to take Zifi CV 200, or should I be considering something else?
No you shouldn't take anything by yourself. Get it checked out by a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. He will examine you and then suggest you accordingly. Don't self medicate. This is how antibiotic resistance develops.

I'm feeling feverish for the past couple of days, and I'm currently on medication for it. Is it okay to sleep in an air-conditioned room while having a fever? Would appreciate any advice.
