ibuprofen

Avatar m tn Can Kidney pain be a side effect of taking Ibuprofen? I was taking ibuprofen last week consecutively for 3 days (400mg t.i.d) after laser eye surgery. A day or so after starting it I experienced mild pain/discomfort in my left flank that came in waves. When I stopped taking the ibuprofen the flank pain also stopped. The next day I took one more dose - the flank pain started again within an hour, but was gone the next day.
Avatar f tn There have been studies showing that ibuprofen use (or any NSAID for that matter) can increase.your risk for baby developing a congenital heart defect or having reapiratory/ cardiac issues at birth. If your Dr recommends it for you than I'd say its okay to take but I wouldn't unless your specific Dr tells you its okay.
Avatar f tn because both testicles hurt and lower abdomen and back pain. The doctor gave the antibiotic Doxycycline and the pain reliever Ibuprofen for 10 days. I found a clear sticky but odorless discharge only once a day and it was at night. for 4 days in a row I found it after peeing.
Avatar f tn When to another gp, who did urine test and found that I had UTI. I was prescribed cefuroxime and potassium citrate mixture for the uti, and rowatinex for precaution against kidney stones. As for my penis, I was given some kind of cream to apply, but got irritated after 2 time use. The foreskin started to become red, and looks abit shiny with a thin layer of white dried skin visible when dry. I’m just cleaning with warm water now and hope the antibiotics will solve the problem for me.
Avatar m tn I started feeling better a few days ago and had sexual intercourse (using trimethroprim as a preventative for UTI) but days after this, the dizziness and fatigue has come back full force, and I am feeling minor urinary discomfort again, although it feels different to a standard UTI, in addition to severe back pain that comes and goes sporadically.
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 Bad call for me but I was in pain and it was only once and everything turned out fine with baby so I was lucky.
1386405 tn?1291587800 nothing will be wrong with your baby i was taking it every day for 12 days i was taking nearly 1 pack every day because of the pain i know i wasnt meant to but the pain was so unbareable i just kept taking them. but try and not stress your baby will be fine.
Avatar n tn Tylenol is the only safe pain medicine u can take while pregnant...I'm not totally for sure what would happen with the ibuprofin, but I wouldn't chance it!! That seems like a lot to take at one time!!?? I was given 800 mg to take after my c-sections!! You must really be suffering with some serious pain hun..talk with ur doc on what is safe for you to take!!
Avatar n tn Hi, although drugs like ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily is usually recommended for urinary tract infection, but one should go by urine culture sensitivity report. For pain associated with infection drugs like ibuprofen, diclofenac etc are prescribed as they have potent anti inflammatory action. Please follow doctor’s advice and avoid self medication.
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.
Monkey Hi, You can take anti inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen for the pain. However if the pain persists then get other causes ruled out. Cause of pelvic pain could be due to kidney stones, pelvic infections, urine infections, twisted ovarian cyst or rupture of ovarian cyst, appendicitis or any other referred pain due to other organ infections. Most of them may not show up on ultrasound. So get all these causes evaluated from a gynecologist to confirm the diagnosis.
7923170 tn?1412999504 21 years old. Pregnant with second baby currently 11 weeks. Im currently taking Lovenox shots n my prenatal the passed 2 weeks have had headaches... Is it OK to take ibuprofen if I don't have tylenol available at the time.
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 have been having headaches for a month, lower back and abdominal pain for two weeks. Along with these I have a nausea feeling. the lower back pains are unbearable. I don't have uti cause I know what that is and I am wondering what could it be. I took a 800 mg ibuprofen and it took the pain a little but not completely. To explain the pain better it feels like I am going into labor but I'm not pregnant. Does anyone know what it could be?
Avatar m tn My GF was on UTI antibiotics at the time, and was tested for STDs 2 months ago (all clear). No pain, just a red spot with slight swelling and small cracks in the skin. It seems minor since there's no itch/burn/pain. But it has been there for 2 weeks. A few days after this appeared there was minor discharge from the crack in the skin. I had it swabbed and my doctor tested it for herpes, which came back negative.
Avatar m tn You prob have a UTI. Urinary tract infection. You'll need antibiotics to clear it up.

1267372 tn?1317831280 Next 2 days she ran to the bathroom several times but never actually vomitted. By Saturday pain in belly was so bad I took her to ER. They said she had a UTI and a little constipation. Started antibiotics. Monday took her to follow up with pediatrician, he re-ran urinalysis and it was clear. Put her on miralax too. Still in major pain. Pain started in legs as well and was getting headaches and dizziness. In her words pain is "like a ton of bricks with knives on the end.
Avatar m tn I have had a fever (that goes down w ibuprofen) it ranges from 99 and the highest was 103.7. I also have back pain on one side. Could a UTI have traveled to my kidney? My back pain gets worse with the fever too. It's always worse at night. I almost went to the ER the other night. But usually by the morning the fever goes down and I am able to get things done. Right now, Wednesday, I am hovering at around 100. Should I go to ER?
Avatar f tn Is it ok to take? Is currently all I have and my head is hurting soooo bad. I usually suffer through any aches or pain because I hate to take meds even when I'm not pregnant. But this head ache is so brutal its making me nauseous.
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.
Avatar f tn NO! Dogs can't metabolize ibuprofen (advil). You can give him tylenol for a short time, but he will be much better off with an anti-inflammatory from your vet. I had two dogs that ended up with severe arthritis. The first took rimadyl daily for 5 of his 13.5 years due to hip displaysia. The last couple of years we switched to deramaxx when the symptoms got more severe. BIG difference with the deramaxx, but it's more expensive.
Avatar f tn I have had horrible pain on my right side for overa week now. No doc seemed to take me serious until now. I had ultrasounds and no cyst but my insides wewere too swollen to find my appendix. The pain has spread to my back...same location just front and back now. Doc says iys prob an infection and ill see him again tomorrow. ...ive been put on antibiotics for uti ubtil i gwt my results but im worried its a kidney infection...I knew kidney infections can be deadly in pregnancy...is this true?
