Can I give my elderly grandmother Combiflam or another medication to relieve her stomach ache and headache, since she is unable to visit a doctor?

Asked by Female, 75 · 2 days ago

Combiflam contains ibuprofen, which can severely irritate the stomach and is unsafe for her stomach ache, especially at her age. For her headache, a plain paracetamol tablet is a much safer option, provided she has no liver issues. However, because she has a stomach ache, it is very important to have her evaluated by a healthcare professional, perhaps via a telemedicine consultation or home visit, to safely find the cause. Please keep her comfortable and offer small sips of water to keep her hydrated.
