All NSAIDs are not to be used as these can promote AF and also affect antcoagulation so may cause interenal bleeding. Speak to your doctor about pain medication.
Thanks Bob. What I thought. Gp said that if the paracetamol didn’t get rid of the inflammation, ibuprofen was necessary. Got this problem because he let cough go on too long untreated!
What are your views on creams like voltarol? Appreciate your advice
My GP told me that topical creams used sparingly should be OK as so little was absorbed into the blood stream.
Astragalus or Resveratrol work for me. If you take Paracetamol it’s best taken everyb 4 hours to have any inflammatory affect. I would avoid all NAAIDS, as Bob says.
