Goodmorning doc my husband is allergic to first- ibuprofen and now he just had swollen eyes after taken mefenamic acid, what other pain killers can he take? my mother in law recommends tramadol hydrochloride, is it safe? thanks in advance yuri

Yes: Tramadol is not an NSAID like the others . Since swelling from NSAID is usually considered specific to that NSAID instead of all NSAIDs, it is interesting to note that your husband has become allergic to two types of NSAID. Avoid all NSAID unless ok'd by an allergist.
