Pain in your shoulder and arm after a dental procedure is often due to muscle strain from keeping your mouth open or lying in an awkward position during the extraction. Your medications, ampicillin/cloxacillin (Megapen) and diclofenac/paracetamol (Diclomol), are standard post-operative care and unlikely to cause this. However, because radiating pain and heaviness can occasionally indicate other issues, it is important to have a healthcare professional evaluate this promptly to ensure your safety and comfort. Please contact your dentist or a doctor today for a quick checkup.

I have had a painful cyst on the side of the lateral wall of my vagina for two months. I have taken Chymoral Forte Tablet, Diclomol Tablet, Septran 100 mg Tablet, Dolanzen Tablet, Evion 400 Capsule, Heal Ointment, and am now taking Amoxyclav 625 Tablet and Brufen 400 Tablet. What further treatment would you recommend?

You should see a gynaecologist for a proper examination, as persistent vaginal cysts may require drainage or minor surgical removal. Continue your current antibiotics only as advised by your doctor and avoid further self-medication. Maintain hygiene and monitor for increasing pain, swelling, or discharge.

I have had a fever for three days that comes and goes, along with cold symptoms and body aches, especially in my legs. I took Dolo-650 Tablet and Taxim-O 200 Tablet, which did not work, then tried Diclomol Tablet, which helped. What should I do next?

Since your fever and body aches improved with Diclomol Tablet (Diclofenac and Paracetamol), continue to rest, stay hydrated, and use it or paracetamol as needed for fever or pain. Do not continue antibiotics like Taxim-O 200 Tablet (Cefixime) on your own. If the fever persists beyond a few days, worsens, or new symptoms appear, please consult your doctor for proper evaluation.

Can a wisdom tooth infection cause a persistent fever that only temporarily resolves with Diclomol and antibiotic treatment?

Yes, a deep wisdom tooth infection can cause a fever that keeps returning. While Diclomol (which contains pain and fever relievers) and antibiotics help temporarily, they often cannot completely cure the infection if the source?the trapped bacteria around the tooth?is still there. Since the fever is returning, it is very important to see a dentist soon. They may need to clean the area or discuss removing the tooth to fully resolve the infection. Please stay hydrated, rest, and have a dentist evaluate this as soon as possible to help you feel better.

Is it normal to still experience tenderness to the touch in a tooth undergoing root canal treatment after taking co-amoxiclav (Novoclav 625) and diclofenac/paracetamol (Diclomol) for three to four days, and can either these medications or the dental procedure cause facial dryness?

It is completely normal to still experience tenderness to the touch three to four days into your root canal treatment. The ligaments surrounding the tooth require time to heal, even while taking co-amoxiclav (Novoclav 625) and diclofenac/paracetamol (Diclomol). Regarding the facial dryness, the stress of the dental procedure, breathing through your mouth during treatment, or mild dehydration from the medications can temporarily cause this sensation. Please stay well-hydrated, apply a gentle moisturizer, and keep your dentist informed of your progress.

I have a sudden neck cramp with pain and cannot move my neck. What can help relieve this?

A sudden neck cramp with pain and stiffness is usually due to a muscle spasm caused by strain, poor posture, or sudden movement. Apply a warm compress, rest, do gentle neck movements once the pain reduces, and avoid sudden turns or long screen time. Maintain good posture and use a proper pillow to support your neck. If the pain is severe or not improving, consult a doctor to check the cause and guide treatment.
