Hello,

Fever is very less likely related to consumption of option for epilepsy. As you have mentioned your father in law has fever from last 2 days, it must be related to some bacterial or viral infection.

As per his age and current condition, decreased immunity results in such symptoms due to various reasons.

I would suggest you see a physician for the fever issue, the doctor will do a physical examination and with all history and current symptoms, he might advise doing some blood tests. And depending on the results he will guide you further with best treatment option for your father in law.

Till you visit a doctor, for fever, appropriate adult dose of paracetamol can help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
