Hello,
Better than aspirin you have Tab Advil or Ibuprofen 400 mg whenever needed. These otcs should be taken after meals and preferably with antacids like Pantoprazole or ranitidine. But in general it's betteur to avoid the frequent of otc, and it's better to get primary problem addressed. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
