I'm so sorry you're dealing with painful, swollen gums. You are doing the right things?gargling with warm salt water is excellent, and Combiflam (ibuprofen and paracetamol) helps reduce pain and inflammation. To help further, try applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for 10-15 minutes. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush very gently to avoid further irritation. Avoid extremely hot, cold, or spicy foods for now. Since gum swelling can sometimes indicate an underlying dental issue or infection, I highly recommend visiting a dentist soon for a proper examination and targeted treatment. Take care!

Why are the pain, swelling, and redness from my bacterial skin infection (cellulitis) getting worse after taking Augmentin 1000 duo, Combiflam, and Pantocid 20 for two days, and what should I do next if I am now unable to stand or walk?

Sometimes, oral antibiotics like amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin) need adjustment, or the infection requires stronger, intravenous treatment. Since the redness, swelling, and pain are spreading and you are unable to walk, please seek immediate medical evaluation at the nearest emergency department. This is the safest way to ensure you get the right care quickly. Keep taking your ibuprofen/paracetamol (Combiflam) and pantoprazole (Pantocid) for comfort unless advised otherwise by the emergency doctors.

What is the best treatment or next step for my father's new leg and heel pain when walking, especially since Combiflam is not helping?

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.

I have a sore throat. Can I take Combiflam during pregnancy?

Combiflam contains ibuprofen and paracetamol, and ibuprofen is not safe during pregnancy, especially in the later stages, as it can affect the baby’s heart and kidneys. You should not take Combiflam and should not self-medicate. A proper medical evaluation is essential to identify the underlying cause of your throat pain and ensure that any treatment prescribed is safe for both you and your baby.

What are the next steps for managing a severe toothache that has failed to respond to Combiflam, Droxyl 500, and a Dynapar injection over the last four to five hours?

Since the Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol), Droxyl (cefadroxil), and Dynapar (diclofenac) injection haven't relieved the toothache, please see a dentist or visit an emergency room immediately. Severe dental pain often means there is nerve pressure or an infection that medications alone cannot resolve; it requires direct dental treatment. You can apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help soothe the area. Note: If these adult medications were given to a one-year-old child, please seek emergency medical attention immediately, as these doses are highly unsafe for toddlers.

Which doctor should I see and what tests do I need for a sharp, shooting pain at the back of my head that started after a viral fever, given that I've had this pain before and am currently taking Combiflam and antibiotics?

This shooting pain at the back of your head could be related to nerve irritation, sometimes triggered by viral infections. I recommend consulting a neurologist or a general physician for an accurate diagnosis. They may advise an MRI of your brain or neck to rule out structural issues, along with basic blood tests. Please continue your Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol) as advised by your doctor for pain relief, but avoid self-medicating with antibiotics unless prescribed.
