A member asked:

Mom is 85. sleeping here. complaining of pain in back that is now above right waist. have tylenol (acetaminophen) w codeine.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid narcotics: in elderly patients. OK to use small doses of ibuprofen ( 200-400mg) 2-3 times a day if she is not allergic. It seems that YOU want to treat with Tylenol (acetaminophen) with codeine- never do that!- consult a physician unless you want a tragedy.
