A single dose of analgesic was enough to make a visible difference in Nysse. Two more daily doses and he’s back to normal. Eating three full portions of food and asking for more in between; going out for hours; looking relaxed while he sleeps.

That turned-up chin and upside-down head is the clearest sign of deep relaxation.
