Will Ibuprofen suffice to treat muscular pain in upper abdomen?
Patient: My friend is having some muscle pain on her right upper abdomen and it is still bothering her even though she has been resting, putting heat/ice on it, and taking ibuprofen. Her pain level range is 1-3. Is there anything you can recommend that she does to help with whatever she did? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing to HCM.Muscle pain if not getting relieved by ibuprofen, then you need to add a muscle relaxant to it. Ask you pharmacist of a painkiller and muscle relaxant combination and if this is recurrent, then she need vitamin supplementation also.Dr. Ashish Verma
