I have costochondritis and was prescribed a strong ibuprofen that made me very dizzy and triggered vertigo. it is very painful what can I take that will help the pain. Is it o.k. to rub something like bengay on my chest, and since this is inflammation related will drinking a lot of water also help?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, you can definitely apply Bengey on chest. It is safe for external use so no need to worry. Also apply warm water pad on affected areas for better symptomatic relief. You can also drink plenty of water, no harm in it. In painkiller, you can take tramadol. It is safe and gives higher pain relief. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
