ibuprofen

Avatar f tn I began what I presume to be my primary outbreak exactly two weeks ago (swab confirmed HSV2) I took Valtrex for 5 days and the sores healed in that time (7 days total). Since the sores have gone, i have been experiencing a strange soreness in my thighs and bum, like I've been sitting on a bench for too long. My vaginal area also still seems a bit more tender than usual. Is this normal, or is it psychological? If this does usually happen to people, what does it mean?
Avatar n tn You can also take over-the-counter pain medicines, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen, to help reduce pain during an attack of shingles and antibiotics to prevent any infection. Please consult a dermatologist and get them prescribed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
4359486 tn?1353355680 Just stick to ibuprofen and I would take more than one pill. I have taken 600mg of ibuprofen before for pain. Just take a few pills and see if that works. You could also call the doctor's office to check about the MG for you. Do you normally have outbreaks on your cycle? I'm suppose to start on Wed. or thursday and I haven't had any symptoms of an outbreak yet. Just freaking out about it though. I'm trying to workout and eat right...

Avatar m tn Development of skin sensitivity and slight burning sensation in T1 (armpit and down to forearm), and to T11-12 (flank at belt line) - resolved by day 6. Day 7: Development of worse burning pain in L3 distribution (NOT as responsive to Ibuprofen) Days 5-7: mild burning sensations and hyperesthesias in left foot (L5), left hand C8), and generalized increased sensitivity to touch on my entire left side (such that if I were not going through all of this, I probably would not have even noticed it).
Avatar n tn Boric acid is know to cause skin irritation. And Valtrex? Do you have herpes? Why were you given Valtrex? Can you try tucks wipes? You put them in your under pants and leave them there. It can be very soothing and healing. Witch hazel dabbed on the area? Other than that, you need to again go to your doctor fo diagnose what is going on. But more may not be better with all this stuff you are using on and off.
Avatar n tn most folks who do, experience it initially when diagnosed and go on valtrex and are incredibly stressed. for most , it does come back. I do know of less than a handful of folks who experienced hair loss while on valtrex, they could find no other cause for it and even after stopping the valtrex the hair loss did not stop. at this point continue to follow up on this with the dermatologist. they are your best bet.
Avatar f tn Got sent home with scripts for lidocain ointment for pain, bacterum for the UTI, valtrex for the herpes and ibuprofen so I can sleep at night and it should clear up quickly. Glad I saw the doctor and thankfully they have a payment plan but the scripts are going to cost almost $200. $100 of that for the lidocain ointment alone. But on the up side it shouldn't take all of it so if this happens again will just have to get new scripts for the herpes.
Avatar m tn acyclovir is 400mg 2x/day every single day. she will still get recurrences while on daily suppressive therapy regardless of if she's on acyclovir or valtrex, you just take acyclovir more often than you do valtrex.
Avatar f tn Hi I have a massive period ache , therefore I took 1100 mg of ibuprofen . At first I had taken 500 mg tablet but it's been an hour and a half and it did not help , so I took an other tablet of ibuprofen of 600 mg . The pain is gone but I feel very tired , can I be harmed or die out of it ? Should I ask for help ? Or has anybody been familiar with it ? Please help me , I am a hypochondriac person and I also have OCD and use Prozac .
Avatar f tn I took tylenol this morning. I took Ibuprofen an hour ago . I coudnnt take it anymore. It was a one time thing and i feel so much better. Will my baby be okay?
Avatar m tn whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
3122657 tn?1357432602 Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.
Avatar f tn After I posted this I talked to the hospital doc about my negativ test result. She didnt think Valtrex had interferred with the results. I have had "herpes symptoms" four months, taking Valtrex last four weeks. Maybe I could have a new test taken in a couple of weeks when my system is clear of Valtrex? Just to be on the safe side? Just no it is all too confusing. One doc says: HERPES! The other says: no this is not herpes.

Avatar f tn Can Ibuprofen cause dizziness, ear pain, stuffiness, and feelings of passing out if taken several times a week?
7758733 tn?1402589420 Killer headaches, and never any Tylenol around. Ibuprofen can't be that bad huh? Got to go to work and this headache must go.
Avatar f tn / I take a warm bath and just relax. Try drinking some water and lying on your left side. You can take reg tylonel . that's about it .
Avatar f tn My o b told me it causes miscarriage in early trimester and second trimester and harms the baby in the third I would stay away
7381903 tn?1391464888 Ibuprofen is never allowed.. Tylenol is only option and now that im in third trimester the pharmacy told me that doctors dont even want us taking that.
1302779 tn?1287405029 i have generic valtrex but i also have chronic migraine and i feel the valtrex gives me a headache. do u get side effects from valtrex?
Avatar f tn I had a really bad headache yesterday and took 6 200mg ibuprofen tablets ( 2 every 4 hours 3 times) and then I found out today your not suppose to take ibuprofen. I'm really worried, will everything be okay?
Avatar f tn Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?
Avatar f tn I don't know if I'm pregnant or not but If I am can Ibuprofen harm my child during early stages of pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Is it true you shouldn't take ibuprofen it can harm the baby? I just seen this today while doing research as to this is my first. i have been taking it before I found out I was thinking my period was coming and I've always had bad cramps so I know to start taking it before my period comes to help with the pain. Should I be worried that I've harmed the baby from taking it? I'm 5 weeks BTW.
