A member asked:
I was prescribed prednisone for a few days for sinusitis and cough with wheezing, i now have pink eye too. can i take advil (ibuprofen) still for pain?

Why and yes: why you are having a pink eye are you having a real bad allergy but you are taking a strong medication that could take care of that second it is ok to take advil but you have to watch your stomach prednisone and advil both very irritant to the stomach my main concern you need to have special eye drop for your red eye not advil and if you want something for pain tylenol (acetaminophen) for this situation better
