It is generally not recommended to use Combiflam MS Cream in a 5-year-old child due to the risk of absorption and possible toxicity. There is no established safe frequency for this age group, and it should not be used without a paediatrician’s advice. Its ingredients, such as camphor and methyl salicylate, can be harmful in young children, even in small amounts. It is better to consult a doctor for safer and more appropriate pain relief medicines for the child.
