A #rebus is a #wordplay #puzzle combining images and letters to represent a word or phrase.

Words are represented by combinations of pictures and letters; for instance, "apex" might be represented by a picture of an ape followed by a letter X.

Moving left to right "say" the images in English and mix in the letters to complete the answer.

@ashokmandal

You ease my concerns with your excellent answer.

@Algot "Palliatives," 11 letters

@jy4m

Glad to see someone is paying attention to the plural possibilities!

@Algot

After trying to PLAY around with different combinations, a possible answer just eased into my mind:

PALLIATIVE

Sorry, couldn’t work the word HIVE into my response.

@darkmirror

It's the hive mind working against you, but you'll rest easy knowing you got the basic answer.

@Algot
Nice one!
PALLIATIVES ease pain and discomfort.
(I almost overlooked the "S".)
[Drat. Edit to switch to content warning mode and add the SPOILER. Somehow I messed that up originally.]

@roytoo

Overlooking "S" is understandable, but not the best answer in this case...tricky was my plan.
