A member asked:
Used to have breast pain daily for months. took aleve (naproxen) once a day for three days. i am now pain free. could taking nsaids this way help with inflam?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely yes: Most NSAIDs have anti-inflammatory properties. Taking for three days is okay, but you should not take any drug, including over the counter ones, for a long time, without discussing it with your doctor.
