About Pain & Cold Relief

Plain-language guides to everyday aches and colds: what to do at home for back pain, headaches and knee pain, when to use heat or cold, what pain balms, oils and sprays can and cannot do, which vapour rubs and menthol products are safe for children, how much paracetamol is safe, and the warning signs that mean you should see a doctor. Written to NHS, NICE, Cochrane and Mayo Clinic guidance. Balms and rubs ease symptoms; they do not treat the cause. For general awareness only.
