Not sure whether ibuprofen or paracetamol is the better choice? As a general guide, ibuprofen may be preferred when inflammation is part of the problem (for example, muscular or joint discomfort), while paracetamol is often chosen when an anti-inflammatory isn’t needed. Some people can use both together, but it isn’t right for everyone—always check labels/leaflets and ask a pharmacist if you take other medicines or have any health conditions. If symptoms are severe, unusual, or last more than a few days, seek advice from a pharmacist, your GP, or NHS 111.

When should I get medical advice?
Speak to a pharmacist, GP, or NHS 111 if pain is severe, symptoms persist for more than a few days, you develop side effects (such as stomach pain, black stools, wheezing, swelling, or rash), or you think you may need pain relief regularly.
