Sorry to hear that - but it is your medical team you need to ask about that really. If it is nerve pain I doubt OTC painkillers will help.

sorry to hear about your son. I suffer from nerve pain due to other ailments, &, for fifteen years I have tried many different painkillers! I can’t take ibuprofen. I’m now on prescription pain patches. Keep pushing your medics, nerve pain is very acute, & I hope you find a solution. I didn’t find anything available in a shop to be useful, but we are all different! Take care of yourself, S x
