If your wife has long-term migraines and Fenak Plus is no longer helping, it is important to see a doctor for evaluation. Migraines are not always lifelong, many people improve with the right treatment plan. She may need a different pain-relief tablet for attacks and possibly preventive medicines to reduce the frequency and intensity. Keeping regular sleep, staying hydrated, avoiding trigger foods, and managing stress also make a big difference.

I am suffering from chikungunya and have high fever and significant body pain. How can I relieve the pain?

Chikungunya can leave body and joint pain for weeks. You can ease it by taking pain killers prescribed by your doctor, using warm compresses, doing gentle stretching, and staying well-hydrated. Eating anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and ginger also helps. Rest well, avoid heavy work, and if the pain continues for long, your doctor may give stronger medicines for post-viral joint pain.

I have a fever due to a heavy cough and cold for the last two days. I was treated by a doctor who prescribed Azee-500, Okacet, and Fenak Plus, but I have not found relief. What should I do next?

If you still have fever, cough, and cold even after taking Azee 500, Okacet, and Fenak Plus, it is best to revisit your doctor rather than change medicines on your own. Your doctor will evaluate your condition and prescribe appropriate medicines.

One of my teeth is sensitive and sometimes causes pain.

For tooth sensitivity, use a sensitivity toothpaste twice a day, avoid very hot or cold foods, and brush gently with a soft brush. Warm saltwater gargles can also help. If the pain keeps coming back, consult a dentist.
