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.

The combination of radiating leg pain and painful red blisters on your foot strongly suggests a nerve-related issue, such as shingles (herpes zoster) affecting the nerve pathway. This explains why standard anti-inflammatory medications like diclofenac, ibuprofen, and paracetamol are not providing relief. Please consult a doctor promptly for a proper evaluation. They can prescribe targeted treatments, like antiviral medications or specific nerve pain relievers, which are much more effective. In the meantime, try to keep the blistered area clean and dry.

Your little boy is likely protected if his routine childhood vaccinations are up to date, as they include tetanus protection. Please verify his immunization records with his pediatrician to be certain. While he takes amoxicillin and ibuprofen (Combiflam), ensure he finishes the entire antibiotic course as prescribed. Give the ibuprofen with food to protect his stomach. Monitor him for any signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, and watch his thumb for increased redness, swelling, or warmth. Keep him hydrated and comforted.

I understand it is concerning when a fever persists. Please be very careful, as both Combiflam (which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol) and Dolo 650 (paracetamol) contain paracetamol. Taking them too close together can cause an accidental paracetamol overdose. Since you just took Dolo 650, please avoid taking any more of either medication for at least 6 hours. To help cool your body safely, stay well-hydrated with plenty of water and try lukewarm water sponging. If your fever remains high, or if you develop symptoms like a severe headache, chills, or difficulty breathing, please consult a doctor in person for a proper medical evaluation.

It is very common to experience a lingering dry cough and throat irritation after a feverish illness. This is often due to post-viral airway hyperresponsiveness, where your throat tissues remain sensitive and inflamed even after the virus is gone. Another common cause is post-nasal drip, where mucus trickles down the back of your throat, triggering a cough. To help soothe this, you can try staying well-hydrated, using a humidifier, or trying honey. However, if your cough persists beyond three weeks, or if you develop shortness of breath, please consult a healthcare provider for an evaluation.

Talk to your doctor about taking paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce fever and relieve mild body aches. Keep yourself well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and use a warm compress or take a warm bath to relax your muscles and ease discomfort.
