Can Motrin Be Taken For Costochondritis?
Hello, the doctor has diagnosed me with costochondritis and they prescribed prednisone, but that makes me feel not to good so i will stop using it. I went back to the hospital and they prescribed motrin 600 mg . Will this work? Also how long does costochondritis last for? , i am 15 years old and this pain and shortness of breath, and heavy/slow breathing worries me.

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you would have complete the course of steroid because that was the best option you have, it is inflammatory process more over underlying cause of this would be matter of concern, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
