Will Ibuprofen Suffice To Treat Muscular Pain In Upper Abdomen?
My friend is having some muscle pain on her right upper abdomen and it is still bothering her even though she has been resting, putting heat/ice on it, and taking ibuprofen. Her pain level range is 1-3. Is there anything you can recommend that she does to help with whatever she did?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Muscle pain if not getting relieved by ibuprofen, then you need to add a muscle relaxant to it. Ask you pharmacist of a painkiller and muscle relaxant combination and if this is recurrent, then she need vitamin supplementation also.
