I'm having surgery (tonsillectomy) in 7 days and today i have a really bad headache. what pain relievers are safe to take?

Acetaminophen : Stay away from the NSAID medication such as Motrin and aleve (naproxen) until you speak with your surgeon. Acetaminophen however is just fine. Hope this helps!
