Sumo for elderly people
Hi,
My father is 76 yr old,with diabetes and BP for many years, though in control.he got angioplasty done and got 1 stent some 7 years back.He is having fever,cold and throat infection since last 2 days.Iam giving him crocin 650 gm,every 5 hrs,along with Gudcef 200 and Montair FX.His temp goes up after every 4 hrs and reach close to 102.Shall I continue with Crocin or can I also give Sumo ,incase fever goes up?Is it safe to give him Sumo consider his age and other factors as stated above?
Just to add,it started with me having fever,cold and cough last 4 days back and i got recovered after taking Sumo when temp touched 103.5,then my wife got infected with same symptoms and now dad.Seems like viral infection.
Kindly advise.
