Yes, you can substitute Combiflam with Ibugesic Plus, as both contain the same active ingredients, ibuprofen and paracetamol. However, because your child is nearly four years old, all medication dosages?especially for Azil (azithromycin) and these fever reducers?must be precisely calculated based on your child's weight, not just age. Please do not start these medications, especially the antibiotic Azil, without a pediatrician's direct prescription. I highly recommend consulting your pediatrician immediately to get the exact dosage and schedule tailored safely to your child's weight to help them feel better soon.

What could be causing the pain in a specific spot on my foot (suspected bursitis) that hurts when I walk but not at rest, and why haven't treatments like Moov cream, antibiotics, Combiflam, and Neurobion helped?

Since the pain only occurs when walking, it is likely triggered by mechanical pressure during movement rather than an infection or nerve issue. This explains why antibiotics, Neurobion, Moov cream, and Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol) haven't provided lasting relief. The cause might be a localized structural issue, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, or plantar fasciitis, rather than simple bursitis. I highly recommend resting your foot, avoiding barefoot walking, and seeing an orthopedic specialist or podiatrist for an X-ray or ultrasound to get an accurate diagnosis.

How can I successfully give tobramycin and lubricating eye drops to my resisting two-year-old after he got hand sanitizer in his eye, and is this a serious issue if he is only taking his Combiflam syrup?

Since he got hand sanitizer in his eye, tobramycin and lubricating drops will help prevent infection and soothe irritation. To make it easier, have him lie down with his eyes closed. Place a drop in the inner corner of his closed eye; when he blinks, the medicine will naturally flow in. Space the two drops by 5 to 10 minutes. Combiflam syrup (ibuprofen/paracetamol) helps with pain but won't heal the eye directly. Keep using the eye drops as prescribed. If his eye remains very red, swollen, or cloudy after 24 hours, please consult his pediatrician.

Why is my severe left-sided throat pain, which makes it difficult to swallow food and water, returning despite temporary relief from amoxicillin and Combiflam, and what short-term medication can I take to treat it?

It is common for symptoms to return if the initial course of amoxicillin didn't fully clear the infection, or if the cause is viral. Since you are finding it hard to swallow water, it is very important to see a doctor promptly to check for any localized swelling. In the short term, you can continue using paracetamol or ibuprofen (the active ingredients in Combiflam) for pain relief, and try warm salt water gargles. Please stay hydrated with small sips of water and get evaluated soon so you can feel better.

Can I use a prescription herbal medicine like Cannapain or other alternative treatments to manage my long-term migraine headaches instead of painkillers like Combiflam and naproxen?

Herbal treatments like Cannapain, which contains medical cannabis, are being explored for pain relief, but they affect everyone differently and are not a guaranteed replacement for standard migraine therapies. Since managing chronic migraines requires a tailored approach, I highly recommend discussing Cannapain or other alternative options with your doctor. They can safely guide you on transitioning or combining treatments.

How can I get long-term relief from ongoing back pain and stiffness, especially in my upper back, when medicines like paracetamol or Combiflam only provide relief for one day?

Since painkillers only mask the symptoms, long-term relief requires addressing the underlying cause, which at 40 is often related to posture, muscle weakness, or ergonomic strain. I highly recommend focusing on physical therapy, core-strengthening exercises, and regular stretching. Applying gentle heat can also help relax tight muscles. Please consult a doctor or a physiotherapist to get a personalized assessment and exercise plan, which is the safest and most effective way to achieve lasting pain relief and improve your mobility.

What should I do if I suddenly developed a fever, chills, and a headache yesterday evening, and the headache keeps coming back even though taking Combiflam helped at first?

It is quite common for a headache and fever to temporarily improve with Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol) and then return as the medication wears off. This often happens with underlying viral infections. Please make sure to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and monitor your temperature. Since the fever and chills started yesterday, I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation to identify the cause. If you experience any warning signs like a stiff neck, confusion, or difficulty breathing, please seek immediate medical attention.
