HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Percocet is a combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone. Over the counter pain medications may include acetaminophen , aspirin, ibuprofen, cataflam.
Stronger pain medication would require a prescription.

In addition to the use of pain medication, physiotherapy is an important aspect of pain management.

If the over the counter medication is not effective then you may need to consult a doctor for stronger medication.

I hope this helps
