Hello and thanks for your question. With hypertension, he should not take anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen because that can elevate blood pressure. He can take acetaminophen for osteoarthritis pain and that will not elevate the blood pressure. If he is having so much pain that he is crying with it he may need a stronger pain medication so please try to get him to visit a doctor soon.
