Im dealing with a fever, cold, and sore throat. I'm wondering if I can take Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P for this. Are there any side effects I should worry about?

Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Paracetamol, which is primarily used for abdominal pain and cramps. It is not recommended for treating fever, cold, or sore throat. Meftal P, on the other hand, contains Paracetamol as the active ingredient, which is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. It would be more suitable for your symptoms. Taking Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P may not effectively address your current symptoms and could potentially lead to inadequate treatment. It is important to use the appropriate medication for your specific condition to avoid any complications.

I'm a bit worried and could use some advice. I've been feeling this pain on the upper left side of my waist for the past three days, and now I'm occasionally getting dizzy too. It all started after I got back from the gym, so I'm thinking it might be muscular, but it's been getting worse rather than better. For context, I'm a mom to an 11-month-old and recently started working out again. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

That could be gastritis or muscle cramp,take adequate rest and consume bland diet for a better result.

I'm experiencing a bit of a strange sensationwhenever I cough, I feel a slight pain in my chest bone. It's not with every cough, just sometimes. I don't have any allergies and I don't smoke or drink, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on it?

it might due to muscle streching during coughing
