Question 1

I slipped on the ice yesterday & hit the back of my head, i had a headache after & took tylenol. today i'm having neck, back, & shoulder pain. i'm a little worried about getting a concussion. is it safe to take ibuprofen?

Accepted Answer

To minimize chance of delayed intracranial bleeding, I'd avoid anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen and take Tylenol, according to instructions, to relieve headache and strains of muscles. Alternate cold& hot compresses for these. Consult your MD if symptoms don't improve or if any excessive drowsiness, worsening headache, nausea, vomiting,confusion,visual symptoms or other neurological symptoms.

Question 2

I've taken 1400 mg ibuprofen total today last dose 7pm. is it safe to take extra strength tylenol or more ibuprofen. i have swimmers ear. help plz.

Accepted Answer

It may be safer to take Tylenol. Do not drink alcohol while you are taking this medication. Neither of these medications will address the underlying disease in your ear, and you should see a doctor for proper treatment and prevent damage to middle ear.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Can sinus tachycardia cause left chest pain? is it safe to take tylenol and ibuprofen 
and meds with caffeine in them with having sinus tachycardia?

Accepted Answer

will not cause chest pain if you have normal coronary arteries but chest pain can cause sinus tachycardia.
