Normally non-steroidal antinflammatories such as Ibuprofen and also analgesics such as Acetaminophen in various doses are most effective in controlling post operative pain. A patient’s medical history always has to be taken into consideration.
Please check with you medical provider and follow manufacturers recommendations. This is not a prescription. I use Two OTC Tylenol and
