A member asked:
Feels like pressure in my head with a little dizziness. puked last night. been drinking ginger ale today. would ibuprofen help any?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Ibuprofen is an acid and can cause gastric ( stomach) irritation. I suggent following a clear fluid diet as noted below and if symtoms persist today- go to ER or UC clinic. NO SOLID FOODS FOR 48 HOURS Force fluids: 8-10 glasses/day: Electrolyte rich fluids- Gatorade, Powerade, Vitamin Water Protein rich fluids: broth bullion, consume. AVOID ALL CITRUS JUICES: orange, grapefruit, pineapple, cranberry etc. Avoid all aspirin, Advil, Aleve (naproxen) ( NSAIDS ). If not improving go to private physician or ER.
