assuming you're not allergic to ibuprofen the answer is yes. by all means take some for the pain of strep throat. ugh! ibuprofen doesn't interact with antibiotics so it's ok to take everything at the same time (if you also were given oral antibiotics). if you are an adult you should not take more than 2400mg of ibuprofen in a 24-hour period. you can divide that up in different ways but you should never take more than 800mg of ibuprofen at a time. children's dosing for ibuprofen is significantly different from adult dosing. if you weigh less than 95 pounds you should consult a pharmacist for directions on how to take ibuprofen. wishing you well! yes you can 2 ibuprofen every 4 to 6 hours as needed
i was given an antibiotic shot for strep throat. can i also take ibuprofen? . i was given the shot at 8:30 this morning. i forgot to ask if i could take ibuprofen for the pain.
