I have been suffering from a continuous, severe headache since last night, especially in the temporal region. The pain is unbearable. I have taken P650, Zerodol-P, and Vasograin, but did not get relief. As advised by a consultant, I then took Tramadol and Stemetil along with a Pan 40 injection, which gave only short-term relief. Later, I took Alprax 0.25 mg and felt sleepy, but still did not get much relief. Kindly suggest what I should do next?

Since you are having a severe, continuous headache that is not improving even after multiple pain medicines, you should not take more medicines on your own. It is important to visit a hospital or consult a physician/neurologist, especially if the pain is unbearable or different from your usual headaches.

What medicine can help with throat pain and a cold?

You can take over-the-counter paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce throat pain and fever associated with a cold. Medicated lozenges, warm salt water gargles, and steam inhalation may help soothe the throat. An antihistamine or decongestant may help relieve a blocked or runny nose if needed. It is also essential to drink plenty of fluids and get adequate rest.

I have been taking Zerodol P for joint pains due to chikungunya for three months. Is this risky, and what effects might it have?

Taking Zerodol-P for three months is risky because long-term use can harm your stomach, kidneys, and liver. It should only be used for the short term, and you should consult a doctor for safer alternatives for chronic joint pain.

Suffering from severe tooth ache

Zerodol-P Tablet contains Aceclofenac and Paracetamol, which can help relieve pain, but it is a prescription medicine and should only be taken under a doctor’s guidance; for severe toothache, self-medication is not safe, and the best step is to consult a dentist who can treat the underlying cause of the pain rather than just masking it.

Can I take Zerodol P tablet regularly?

Zerodol-P should not be taken regularly without a doctor's advice because long-term use can harm the stomach, kidneys, and liver. It is meant only for short-term pain and swelling. If you need it often, get checked for a safer long-term option.
