How to Relieve Back Pain?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Consider over-the-counter options for back pain relief:

Diclofenac gel: Apply three times a day for a week.

Ibuprofen 400 mg: Take twice a day after meals as needed for 4-7 days, but do not exceed this duration.

Caution:

Ibuprofen can be harsh on the stomach

Important considerations:

Do not take Ibuprofen if you have bronchial asthma or if you are pregnant due to potential risks.

Thanks
