I AM A NURSE AND THE MOST COMMON THING THEY PRESCRIBE FOR SOME THINGS LIKE THAT IS MOTRIN TAKE 4 200MG TABS THREE TIMES A DAY IT WILL EQUAL THE DOSAGE YOU WOULD GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR.. AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL YOUR DOCTOR THAT THE MEDICATION IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE PAIN CALL HIS OFFICE AND ASK TO SPEAK TO HIS NURSE OR A OFFICE NURSE LET THEM KNOW THE PAIN IS TO BAD AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING STRONGER MAKE SURE YOU START THE MOTRIN AND TELL THEM YOU ARE ALREADY TAKEN MOTRIN.. HOPE THIS HELPS Health Question & Answer
It greatly depends on the type of medication you are taking at this time for the pain from the surgery.. A lot of the pain medication has Tylenol already in it and you may be taking to much Tylenol.. I would try to make it until you are able to call the doctor and get his idea what would be ok to take.. He knowes your medication and what it is buffered with.. You may try ice packs to help with the pain.. I am sorry that I am not much help but you do not want to take to much of the wrong medication and have more problems in the future.. My best wishes are with you..Health Question & Answer
