Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM. My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Use of analgesic varies from one individual body to another. Some requires for 5-7 days while other may even require for 10-14 days.. In young ones, if child becomes more irritable then analgesic is continued for a longer time like 7-10 days.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
