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.

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.

Most common over-the-counter options like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can safely be taken every four to six hours, so taking another dose tonight should be fine as long as you follow the package limits. Many underarm lumps, such as clogged glands or swollen lymph nodes, do heal on their own without antibiotics. Applying a warm compress can bring some comfort and help it resolve. However, if the lump grows, becomes redder, warmer, or leaks fluid, please have a doctor check it.

Since your Combiflam?which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol?is not bringing relief, the trauma may have bruised the ligaments around the tooth or caused a tiny fracture under the cap. Please try to rest the area and avoid chewing on that side. Applying a cold compress to your cheek can help soothe the discomfort. The most important step is to see your dentist as soon as possible for an X-ray to see exactly what is happening.

Over the last two days, the combination of ibuprofen-paracetamol (Combiflam) and levocetirizine has only provided temporary relief because these medications manage symptoms like pain, fever, and congestion, but they do not treat the underlying cause. A recurring fever often indicates your body is actively fighting off an infection, most commonly a viral illness like the flu. Please stay well-hydrated and rest. Since the fever keeps returning, it is best to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

Since her mild fever and aches are returning and Calpol (paracetamol) or Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol) did not provide lasting relief, it is very important to consult a doctor soon. At her age, persistent symptoms after travel could indicate a viral infection like chikungunya or dengue, which require proper evaluation. Please ensure she stays well-hydrated. Avoid repeating Sumo (nimesulide/paracetamol) without medical supervision, as frequent use can have side effects. A doctor can guide you with the correct diagnosis and a safe treatment plan to help her recover.
