It's physical withdrawal symptoms. Stay off them, if you don't want your like to turn to complete ****, and the symptoms will ease over a couple of days and you'll be back to normal.

It's physical addiction, yes. Mental addiction might take a little longer to develop.

Stop taking them.

Addiction? no. Unwell? Yes

The nurofen plus just hid your symptoms that's all

People addicted to Nurofen plus take a couple hundred a day

That's like saying people addicted to alcohol drink two bottles of whiskey a day. You can be addicted and drink one glass a day.

That would kill you.

Addicts take it daily - can be a few a day or a packet a day over a prolonged period

You could have a severe infection in your tooth or gum which is making you feel unwell; it may have nothing to do with the Nurofen Plus.

I would suggest trying one or all of:

• Contact the pharmacist who dispensed the Nurofen Plus and ask them for advice.
• Contact your dentist to have the pain checked and any infection/issue treated.
• Contact your GP to get checked and treated for an infection.

Surprisingly no.
Someone I know overdosed on paracetamol and nuerofen.
Doctors said it was the paracetamol that did the damage to the liver.

OP, please contact pharmacy to answer your questions and gp tomorrow should you want further advice
