Q: I'm allergic to asprin and tylenol and all pain pills what can i take ?
Have you seen a doctor and confirmed your allergies to these medications?
I'd urge you to do so. You may not be allergic to all the drugs you think you are, but you will need a physician to help you determine that.
What is causing your pain? Different pain medications work better for pains frm different causes. NSAIDs, like ibuprofen, are effective or pain caused by inflammation or swelling, for example.
What causes your pain will help you and your doctor figure out what pain medications you can try.
If you're looking for "natural remedies" or herbal pain killers, you should be very careful.
I am in the same boat with you. I am allergic to asprin, ib, advil and I think tylenol. I asked my doctor for an allergy test and she said they don't have any tests for this type of allergy, only food based allergies. I have to deal with any pains that come my way. I too am wondering what I can take if I am allergic to these medications. I am afraid that if I get a fever some day I won't be able to bring it down. My reaction is anaphylaxis, my eyes swell, my nose becomes congested, and my throat starts to close.
