What over the counter medication can be used to reduce pain in the infected area. infection has left but pain is still there and im not sure what medication other than antibiotics will help reduce pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
see your doctor to make sure infection gone. Over the counter Voltaren gel is good pain relief if no infection. Local massage to area helps. Try alternating warm compresses and ice.
