The runny nose and cough went away yesterday, but feeling very tired and have a headache and bit of a fever. Tried some Panadol but not working, can I use some nurofen (ibuprofen)? Is it ok with the epilim.

Brief Answer:
minor insignificant reaction
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There is a risk of a minor or insignificant reaction. Epilim can increase or affect the level of the ibuprofen.
It does this by affecting its metabolism/breakdown. This means that there is a small risk of increased effect of the ibuprofen.
It is not likely to have a significant impact so you can likely safely use it.
In terms of the duofim, it can be used in this area (the chin).
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Brief Answer:
if had any recent contact with anyone with a cold then not the medication
Detailed Answer:
HI
Though this can occur , if you had any recent contact with anyone with the cough/cold/flu, then it is more likely that the symptoms are due to the cough/cold then the medication.
In addition, if the symptoms last only 1 to 2 weeks , as it does with the cough/cold, then also not likely due to the medication.
