Flexon Suspension 100 ml
Flexon Suspension 100 ml

Flexon Suspension is used to treat Pain and Fever in children. It contains Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. Ibuprofen works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, which is responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in the body. Paracetamol lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat.

Health Queries

I am having pain on the right side of my neck, shoulder, and arm, and it is spreading to the tips of my fingers. What could be causing this pain, and which treatment may help reduce it?

Vikas Singh

Pain spreading from the right side of the neck to the shoulder, arm, and fingertips can happen due to nerve irritation, cervical spondylosis, muscle strain, poor posture, slipped disc, or pressure on the nerves in the neck region. Long mobile use, computer work, wrong sleeping position, stress, or lifting heavy weights may worsen these symptoms. Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the fingers can sometimes occur when nerves become compressed. Maintaining proper neck posture, avoiding long hours in one position, and using a supportive pillow may help reduce strain on the neck and shoulder muscles. Gentle stretching exercises, warm compresses, and regular movement may also improve stiffness and pain gradually. Doctors sometimes advise pain relief medicines, muscle relaxants, physiotherapy, or vitamin supplements, depending on the exact cause, but treatment should be selected only after proper evaluation. Please consult a doctor if you develop severe weakness, loss of hand grip, numbness increasing continuously, dizziness, or pain that keeps worsening, as scans or nerve evaluation may be needed.
