At 71, new pain while walking can sometimes point to circulation issues or nerve pressure in the lower back, rather than a simple muscle strain. Since the ibuprofen and paracetamol in Combiflam are not helping, the safest next step is to consult his doctor. They can check his blood flow and reflexes to find the exact cause and prescribe targeted therapy. For now, please encourage him to rest and avoid long walks until he can be evaluated.

It is quite common for viral symptoms to peak before they improve. Combiflam (which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol) and salt water gargles are excellent starting steps, but they can take 24 to 48 hours to show full effect. Please focus on resting and staying well-hydrated. However, if your fever remains high, you develop difficulty swallowing or breathing, or your symptoms continue to worsen over the next 24 hours, please consult a healthcare professional in person for a physical examination.

The next best step is to get the recommended chest X-ray done promptly. This will help your pediatrician check for any lung congestion or infection that may require adjusting his treatment. Please continue giving the amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin Duo) and levosalbutamol (Levolin) nebulizer exactly as prescribed. Keep him well-hydrated and comfortable. If you notice fast breathing, chest pulling in, or extreme sleepiness, please seek immediate medical care. Your pediatrician will guide you further once they review the X-ray.

Your symptoms chills, headache, body pain, and mild fever are most commonly due to a viral infection like viral fever or flu. Take good rest, drink plenty of warm fluids, and you can use paracetamol to reduce fever and body aches. Steam inhalation and light, nutritious food can also help recovery. If symptoms last more than 3 days, worsen, or you develop high fever or breathing difficulty, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Since this started after taking Combiflam (which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol), it could be an allergic reaction or sensitivity. Please stop taking Combiflam immediately. To help soothe your face, you can apply a cool compress. It is very important to consult a doctor to find a safe, alternative medication for your headaches. If you develop any difficulty breathing, swallowing, or swelling of your lips, tongue, or throat, please seek emergency medical attention right away.

Since the ibuprofen and paracetamol combination in Combiflam hasn't provided relief. Since this has lasted for six days, I highly recommend consulting a neurologist. Neurologists specialize in the nervous system and can properly diagnose and treat nerve-related pain. You can also start with a primary care physician for an initial evaluation and referral. Getting evaluated by the right specialist is the best step toward finding a treatment that works for you.
