Been having joint pain my knee for 3 days. i have taken advil (ibuprofen) and have been icing, but pain has not subsided. looking to see if i can have a stronger anti-inflammatory medication?

Can take 3 Advil (ibuprofen): You should see a physician quickly if you have a fever, if the joint is swollen or warm to touch or if very painful to walk. If 2 Advil (ibuprofen) don't help you can increase to 3 tablets every 6 hours provided you have no history of stomach ulcers etc. If the pain persists see your physician.
