Suggest medicine for pain management
Patient: Hi Dr. I have a question and I am stuck. I came to Florida with my 84 year old grandmother. I wanted to surprise her with a vocation. I didn t check her medication s before we left from home. She has been seeing a pain management doctor for over 3 years now. I forgot to check her medications and she is out of her pain meds. Her pain meds can only be giving throw a pain management doctor. Who and where can I take her too see a doctor to be able to help her with her pain meds while on vacation? Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.   Your grandma is suffering from what kind of pain? Is she had any kind of disease? Usually it's better to get her once examined and then start on any pain medicine. Any practitioner can start her on Ibuprofen or Tramadol if liver and renal functioning are normal. I don't know the status of her. So share more details to probably find out the actual condition of patient to treat her better.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Archana
