Today my son was operated on to remove glass from his hand. The nurse who discharged him, said if he had pain he could take Ibuproven with the prescription Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen. Is this ok, I want to make sure she knows what she is talking about.
Hi, As your son was operated it can cause postoperative pain and inflammation, and it needs to be controlled with anti-inflammatory painkillers. However, the use of painkillers is dependent on the severity of pain, so you should give him painkillers depending on the need of painkillers. If your son is in pain you can give him Ibuprofen as it will help in reducing inflammation as well as pain.  In case if the pain does not get better with it than it is advisable to consult his doctor once and proceed with HY Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
