Suggest Medication For Severe Back Pain After A Surgery
My father just had back surgery last week. His physician told him to double up on his pain medicine and he just ran out of it Wednesday. He is still in major pain due to a fall that he just recently had also. Can they prescribe him more pain medicine?
But before taking Advil, your father must be sure that the surgery wound is not infected. If the wound is infected then your father should take antibiotics.
Wish you good health. Dr. Behar.
