Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Dolo 650 is paracetamol 650 mg and works only in fever and body ache. Since it is only one dose 6 hours back, the effect might not be seen.
He might be having an attack of common cold and flu.
If there is dry cough and fever with body ache then he can take Sinarest Tablet which contains chlorpheniramine maleate 2 mg, phenylephrine hydrochloride 10 mg, paracetamol 500 mg, anhydrous caffeine 30 mg and works in common cold and flu. Sinarest can be taken 1 tablet 3-4 times a day. Please take note that Sinarest can cause some drowsiness.
For acidity he can take Pan 40 one tablet on empty stomach in the morning for a week.
For the fever please follow the following instructions to keep the temperature down and take precautions.
1. Please make him drink plenty of fluids. Fever can cause fluid loss and dehydration, so drink water and juices.
2. He can take sufficient rest from work for 2 - 3 days.
3. Dress in comfortable clothes and avoid exposure to extremes of temperature and dust pollution is advised.
4. Sponge bath with warm water can be done.
5. Healthy home cooked soft diet is advised.
6. Doing warm water gargle twice a day will soothe the throat.
If there is no relief and the symptoms are worsening even after 2 -3 days then it is advised to consult a doctor and take antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected after clinical evaluation.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
