Listen to your body: It could be a histamine response since you have allergies. Vitamin c with bioflavanoids, boswellia, and curcumin are natural substances that block histamine and inflammatory substances that can cause intermittent pain. Advil (ibuprofen) that you use is anti-inflammatory. Does it help at all?
