Suggest dosage of Sumo tablet prescribed for chest congestion
Patient: Sir my daughter is 12 years old and she has chest congestion and fever 101 degree celcius.  Doctor has advised me sumo tablet for fever.  In the prescription cared, it is not clear whether we should give half tablet or one.   Kindly advice how much dose of sumo should I give to my daughter. Doctor: Hi I can understand your concern...Mostly here you have congestive symptoms  by viral flu....If I am not wrong the drug you are saying is sumo which is nimesulide drug.....For relief from fever nimesulide should not used....this drug also banned in some country...According to me take paracetamol like safe drug for it....Along with antihistaminic drug can be given..As far as dose of nimesulide concern this tablet can be taken once or twice daily....Dr.Parth
