My son had dengue fever 10days back. He has developed severe back pain since then. He was advised to take hifenac twice a day. But the tab effect is only for 4 hrs. and after that he will start getting pain again, till he takes another tablet. Kindly advise how long he should continue this. The doctor says x-ray doesnt show any problem but he is suffering a lot. Kindly advise
Hi...dengue fever is commonly called - Break Bone fever - the pain will be so severe that it is called so. So I feel it is recovering dengue and One most important advice - don't use NSAID Chat Doctor. Rather I suggest you use - Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -
