Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you need to continue the meropenem treatment and it will soon give the results on reducing fever. Also continue taking paracetamol to reduce fever.
I don't think you need any other things to do.

Thanks for the answer but are there any alternatives to dolo 650? it's really not doing it's job well and I'm also started having cough from last 2 days?

Brief Answer:
Can take ibuprofen

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
Dolo 650 mg is acetaminophen, paracetamol, and another alternative can be ibuprofen 600 mg.
I don't think you may need other medications now since you are taking Mero.
If cough continues you may need to do further examinations about it like a doctor listening to your lungs or lungs x-ray.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
