A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti inflammatory: Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs are available over the counter in the pharmacy. The generic names are ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen. They can upset the stomach so take with food. Other meds that can help are aspirin, and acetaminophen. Your Doctor has better meds available so if you need stronger prescriptions or personalized treatment make an appointment when convenient for you.
