A member asked:
I have a severe painful throat. it feels raw and there is mucous. possibly strep throat or flu. will my rx oxycodone or rx ibuprofen relieve this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore throat: Ibuprofen should be just fine. If you need to take the oxycodone for the pain, then I would suggest you go to an urgent care center.
