A CRP of 134 mg/L and high ESR indicate significant active inflammation or infection that requires immediate medical evaluation. You should not self-medicate. For temporary pain or fever relief, paracetamol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen are generally considered safe while breastfeeding. However, these only mask symptoms. The underlying cause of your high inflammation markers must be diagnosed by a doctor. If an infection is present, your physician can prescribe breastfeeding-safe antibiotics or other targeted treatments. Please contact your healthcare provider immediately for a proper diagnosis and safe prescription plan.

I have pain in my ileo-sacral joint, what medicine should I take to treat it?

For sacroiliac (ileo-sacral) joint pain, the first-line treatment typically involves Over-the-Counter Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen to target both pain and inflammation. If you cannot take NSAIDs, acetaminophen can help manage pain but will not reduce inflammation. Topical pain relievers, like diclofenac gel, can also be applied directly to the area. Please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation, as they may prescribe stronger anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, or recommend physical therapy and joint injections if over-the-counter options do not provide relief.

I have tooth pain on the left side. What should I do?

Tooth pain on one side may be caused by tooth decay, infection, gum disease, or nerve irritation. Maintaining good oral hygiene and gently rinsing with warm salt water may help reduce discomfort. Avoid chewing hard or hot and cold foods on the affected side. Consult a dentist promptly to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.

I have a headache due to a strong hit on the front of my head, what medicine should I take?

Because you experienced a strong hit to your head, safety is the top priority. For temporary pain relief, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol). Avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen or aspirin initially, as they can increase the risk of bleeding if there is an internal injury. More importantly, you must monitor for a concussion. Seek emergency medical care immediately if you experience 'red flag' symptoms: loss of consciousness, dizziness, vomiting, confusion, vision changes, slurred speech, or a worsening headache. Please have someone monitor you for the next 24 hours and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I have pain in my upper left back teeth and jaw. What medicine should I take for relief?

For temporary relief from upper back tooth and jaw pain, an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen (400 mg every 4 to 6 hours with food) is highly effective at reducing dental inflammation. If you cannot take NSAIDs, Acetaminophen is a safe alternative. Warm salt water rinses can also help soothe the area. However, because pain in this area can stem from a dental infection, wisdom teeth issues, or even a sinus infection, these medications only mask symptoms. Please consult a dentist promptly for an X-ray and proper diagnosis to treat the root cause. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums.

I have a lot of headaches that prevent me from concentrating on my studies.

Stress, eye strain, insufficient sleep, dehydration, and irregular eating patterns can all contribute to frequent headaches. Make sure you eat on schedule, take pauses from screens, drink enough water, and get enough sleep. See a doctor for an assessment if the headaches are severe, frequent, or accompanied by nausea or vision issues.

I have severe pain in my molar tooth and it feels like the roots are exposed. What medicine should I take for relief?

For temporary relief from severe molar pain, you can take over-the-counter Ibuprofen (400mg every 4 to 6 hours with food) to reduce inflammation, or Acetaminophen if you cannot take NSAIDs. Applying a topical numbing gel (like Orajel) or rinsing with warm salt water can also soothe the area. Avoid extremely hot, cold, or sweet foods, and never place aspirin directly on your gums. Because severe pain and suspected exposed roots indicate potential nerve involvement or infection, these measures are only temporary. You must see a dentist promptly for definitive treatment, such as a filling, crown, or root canal.
