Taking NSAIDs

[[th...]]

Hi everyone,

 

Sorry to be so obsessive with this topic, but I have an ear infection and am in massive amounts of pain. I'm getting to the point where I'll have to take something for it because I just can't stand it anymore.

 

If I have a reaction to either Tylenol or Ibuprofen, how long would it last? I'm in terrible pain but am just freaked out about taking anything for it.

 

I took ibuprofen once during acute withdrawal (or maybe a little bit after), and it turned out mostly okay, but it sent me into a (bearable, yet very unpleasant) wave of depression for a couple hours.

 

Do you think it would be okay to take now that I'm feeling asymptomatic? I'm just concerned about having a reaction because I'm 5000 miles away from home on a study abroad trip in Germany.

 

Thanks!
