You should always take ibuprofen with food to avoid stomach upset. If the pain is severe, you should see a doctor. If it is easing, you could wait a bit and see if it resolves. Perhaps take some Mylanta to see if this would help resolve your discomfort. If the pain continues, you may need to see GI to rule out an ulcer, Good luck!
