    Hi huni, I was prescribed ibuprofen when I left the hospital and it was my saviour! 400ng so that’s usually 2 of what u can buy from the shop. I took that and paracetamol instead of the co-dydramol as I don’t like codeine xx

    Hey :) yeh ibuprofen would be a great choice of painkiller as its anti-inflammatory as well so will help any swelling go down. Just make sure you eat something first before you take them as they can damage the stomach if you take without.
