A member asked:
I've been sick and taking painkillers every day for 5 days straight whether it would be advil,aleve, or tylenol (acetaminophen). is this bad? head still hurts

Minimal Danger: Long term (weeks to months) use of painkillers can be a problem, but there is likely no great risk to using them for five days. The more concerning thing is that you are not getting better. I would advise you to see a primary care doctor to find out a diagnosis.
