Question 1

is it safe to take 800mg of ibuprofen, after using biofreeze cream?

Accepted Answer

Yes: the active ingredient of most Biofreeze products is menthol. The active ingredient of ibuprofen is a nonspecific COX2 inhibitor. They should complement each other in reducing pain resulting from local inflammation.

Question 2

hi. please i had an operation on my right leg to correct blounts disease in 2014. just last week i had a kneecap dislocation on the same leg. i've been to the hospital, i was given ibuprofen and pain relief cream. will i be able to walk again?

Accepted Answer

: Only the Drs who know you and all the details can best predict what will happen in the future.  I like to quote to my patients Yogi Berra:  “it’s hard to make predictions.  Especially about the future.”

They should discuss with you and then they can give you probabilities that you will walk again.  Keep a diary and share with them. Of what makes it worse and better.

Question 3

can i take ibuprofen 600mg for back pain and i also put musclerub cream on my back

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: read the labels carefully and don't exceed recommended dosage and duration, best wishes

Question 4

i have been taking 3 200mg pills of advil (ibuprofen) two or three times a day since wednesday morning ( i have herpangina/glossitis) on a completely empty stomach, i've only had ice cream. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Avoid taking more: Normal advil (ibuprofen) dose is no more than 6 tablets in 24 hours. You need to follow the direction because it might affect your renal function.

Question 5

i took advil (ibuprofen) after i ate ice cream and drank a whole glass of milk and i woke up this morning with a horrible stomach ache that still wont go away?

Accepted Answer

Probably...: ...the single Advil (ibuprofen) pill is less a concern than all the dairy you consumed.  Please consider the possibility of lactose intolerance here.

Question 6

what is the best cream or ointment or mix of the two for a chronic anal fissure with sentinel pile that bleeds and throbs? using hc 2.5% & ibuprofen.

Accepted Answer

Neither: The best treatment for a chronic anal fissure is fiber, a good pain regime, and possible chemical or surgical sphincterotomy to eliminate spincter spasm and allow healing.

Question 7

i want to use "nuprin muscle joint cream" but cannot find it?

Accepted Answer

Salicylate ceam: That is a topical salicylate cream. Other brands are aspercreme, ben gay, sportscreme. These three may be easier to find. Nuprin (ibuprofen) has camphor and menthol which give it a pleasant smell. Ask your pharmacist if you need additional help.

Question 8

external hemorrhoids. should i use ibuprofen or naproxin for pain relief? i already use a hydrocortisone cream

Accepted Answer

You can, but...: You can but they are unlikely to provide much benefit.

Question 9

my 10yr old is having his tonsils out. what do they do for pain? just tylenol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen? and yes he will have tons of ice cream and popsicles.

Accepted Answer

Yes: most of the time it is enough. If it is not working ask your pediatrician to give you a Rx with a local anesthetic mixture. Best!

Question 10

i've been getting a pain in my leg for a couple of months!ive tried tylenol, (acetaminophen) ibuprofen, heating pads n creams.. what can i take for pain?

Accepted Answer

Please seek care!: A pain in your leg can be due to so many different things from sprained muscles or tendons to blood clots in the deep vein. So before you continue to self-treat this pain, which has been going on for a couple of months already, please go see a doctor to get the diagnosis and the appropriate treatment.
