Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor Service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer.
Yes it is safe to take acetaminophen with ibuprofen. It is usually given in condition like yours when a single pain killer can't subside the pain. So don't worry and just go for your medications prescribed to you and take it regularly according to prescription.
Hope i answered your question. Feel free to ask more if i can help you further. Thanks.
