It helps to treat conditions such as menstrual cramps, headache, neuralgia (nerve-related pain), migraine, back pain, dental pain, swelling and stiffness in joints and muscles, cold, and flu symptoms. It contains Ibuprofen, which works by reducing the production of chemicals prostaglandins that are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling.

  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).

Health Queries

What are the post-operative care guidelines, recommended recovery medicines, and safety precautions to follow after an inguinal hernia surgery, and when can I safely return to work?

Veda Maddala

Veda Maddala

M Pharmacy

After your inguinal hernia surgery, keep the incision clean and dry. For pain, generic medicines like acetaminophen or ibuprofen are typically recommended. Avoid heavy lifting (over 10 pounds) and strenuous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks to protect the surgical repair. To prevent straining, drink plenty of water and take stool softeners if needed. You can safely return to a light desk job within 1 to 2 weeks. However, if your work involves physical labour, wait 4 to 6 weeks and consult your surgeon first. Contact your doctor if you experience a high fever, worsening pain, or redness around the incision.

I have been experiencing intolerable, sharp pain on both sides of my head above my ears for the past month. What medicine should I take to relieve this pain?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

Since you have been experiencing this severe pain for a month, it is very important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis before starting any medication. Sharp, bilateral pain above the ears can stem from tension headaches, nerve compression, or other highly treatable conditions. For temporary relief, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may help. However, frequent use can lead to rebound headaches. A doctor can identify the exact cause and prescribe targeted therapies, such as preventative medications or muscle relaxants, if needed. Please schedule an appointment to get a safe, personalized treatment plan.

I have had a mild, continuous pain in my canine tooth for over 24 hours. What could be the reason for this, and what medicine should I take for relief?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Continuous mild pain in your canine tooth could be caused by early tooth decay, gum recession exposing the sensitive root, dental pulp inflammation, or even sinus pressure. For temporary relief, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen (200?400 mg) or Acetaminophen, provided you have no contraindications. Rinsing with warm salt water can also help soothe the area. However, because the pain has persisted for over 24 hours, please schedule an appointment with a dentist. They can identify the exact cause and treat it before it worsens. Avoid extremely hot, cold, or sugary foods in the meantime.
