I'm having some trouble with rashes or a fungal infection in my inner thighs, and even though I've been using creams like Candid Total and Clobetta GM, its just not getting better. Its actually spreading to my buttocks too. Could you suggest what I should do to get some relief?
Sharp pains from kidney stones can be excruciating. Since Mefatal Spas isn't providing sufficient relief, consider the following options: Consult your doctor about alternative pain management options, such as: 1. NSAIDs like Ibuprofen (Brufen) or Diclofenac (Voveran) 2. Muscle relaxants like Baclofen 3. Opioid analgesics (if prescribed by your doctor) In addition to medication: 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water (at least 8-10 glasses a day) 2. Apply heat: Use a warm compress or heating pad on the affected area 3. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body cope with the pain If the pain persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention.
