ADVICE / HEALTH EDUCATION
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FEVER
Normal body temperature varies from one individual to another, and lies between 36.5°C and 37.5°C. A rise of more than 0.8°C is considered a fever.
Adults and children weighing over 30 kg (approx. 11-12 years): If the symptoms are too distressing, you can take a medication containing ibuprofen at the recommended dosage.
With this medication, fever should subside rapidly. Nevertheless:
- if other signs appear (such as a rash);
- if fever persists for more than 3 days or worsens;
- if headaches become severe, or if vomiting occurs;
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF PAIN
- if no improvement after 5 days of treatment;
- if pain recurs regularly;
- if accompanied by fever;
- if it wakes you up at night;
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A MIGRAINE
What is a migraine?
Migraine is an illness characterized by severe headaches, occurring in attacks lasting from 4 to 72 hours and recurring several times a month. It can sometimes be preceded by visual and/or sensory signs known as aura (impression of brightness or flickering in the visual field, illusion that a fly seems to be crossing the visual field).
|
Migraine or headache? The term "migraine" is often used instead of "headache". The following questions can help you identify whether you have a migraine. You can complete them yourself or with the help of your pharmacist. 1. Your headache evolves in attacks lasting from a few hours to 3 days (without treatment). Between attacks, you have no head pain. Yes □ No □ 2. You have had at least 5 seizures in your life. Yes □ No □ 3. Your headache has at least 2 of the following characteristics: Yes □ No □ - localized to one side of the head; - pulsatile ("it taps"); - increased by exertion (climbing stairs, running, coughing); - the painful intensity of the attack ranges from strong to very strong. 4. Your headache is accompanied by at least 1 of the following signs: Yes □ No □ - urge to vomit or vomiting ; - discomfort with light (photophobia) and/or noise (phonophobia). If you answered YES: - to 4 questions: you probably have migraine; - to 3 questions: you probably suffer from migraine; - to 1 or 2 questions: you probably don't suffer from migraine. |
Discuss these results with your doctor, so that he or she can confirm the diagnosis and agree with you on the most appropriate treatment.
How can I manage my attacks?
Certain factors, such as fatigue, stress, food (chocolate, alcohol), sensory factors (noise, flashing lights, perfumes, etc.) or physiological factors such as menstruation, are likely to trigger migraine attacks.
Knowing the triggers and warning signs that may precede an attack enables treatment to be started early (ideally within an hour of onset, while the attack is still mild). The earlier the treatment is taken, the more effective it is, and often the shorter its duration (early treatment limits migraine recurrence).
Noting in a diary or notebook the date and duration of your attacks, the intensity of the pain, any triggers and the medication used for each attack will help your doctor assess your migraine and its treatment.
Failure to treat the first attack does not necessarily mean failure to treat subsequent attacks. The efficacy of ibuprofen 400 mg should be evaluated over 2 or 3 attacks. To help you, answer the following questions and discuss them with your doctor and pharmacist.
Are you relieved 2 hours after taking ibuprofen? Yes □ No □
Do you experience any side effects (digestive or other)? Yes □ No □
Do you use a single dose of medication? Yes □ No □
Can you resume your usual activities 2 hours after taking it? Yes □ No □
In what cases should you consult your doctor?
While most headaches are benign in origin, you shouldn't ignore the fact that they can be a symptom of sometimes serious conditions requiring specialist treatment.
Consult your doctor in the following cases:
- first attack of headache;
- onset of headaches after age 50;
- triggered by physical exertion, sexual intercourse or coughing;
- installation of a "thunderclap" headache: sudden appearance of a headache from one second to the next;
- appearance of unusual signs accompanying the headache, such as :
o loss of balance,
o neck stiffness, making neck movements difficult or impossible,
o double vision, blurred vision,
o difficulty speaking,
o reduced muscle strength, numbness in arms and legs;
- body temperature > 38°C;
- worsening of headaches;
- headache not of usual character;
- continuous onset of headaches.
