I have had a sore throat, fever, night sweats, and a blocked throat since Sunday after swimming, and I have been taking Combiflam since Monday?should I continue taking this medication, or do I need to see a doctor?
While Combiflam (which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol) can help ease your fever and throat pain temporarily, it only manages symptoms and won't cure an underlying infection. Given that you are experiencing a 'blocked' throat, night sweats, and developed symptoms after swimming, it is very important that you see a doctor for a proper examination. These symptoms could suggest a bacterial infection or tonsillitis that may require specific prescription treatment. Please consult a healthcare professional soon to ensure you get the right care and recover safely. Rest well and stay hydrated.
