Can I Take Ibuprofen Fro Recurrent Pain In The Foot While Taking Cephalexin?
Question: can I take ibuprofen while taking cephalexin?
I have recurring pain in my foot which does not allow me to sleep. Epsom salts does not provide relief. This is not gout, which I've had in the past. I did walk a lot today. So I thought I would take ibuprofen, which I have in my medicine chest from the time I had a somewhat similar foot pain.
I just started taking cephalexin,die to a rash in my mustache..could the pain in my foot be caused by cephalexin? Can I now take ibuprofen? I'd appreciate any answer soon. thank you, XXXXXXX Leaman YYYY@YYYY
