That said does anyone have any tips for having a headache?

Edit: it turns out I have a fever

    No ones suggesting ibuprofen or acetaminophen? It feels like theres this subsection of the population that’s adverse to taking any sort of pill, despite these two being some of the most benign, well known drugs in this history of medicine. Yes, if you take a shit ton or take them for weeks on end, you could cause some damage. But for a headache? Sore muscles? Literally anything inflammation related? Just take the damn pill. Way too many people just ignore the obvious solution and keep complaining about their pain.

      When I got my wisdom teeth removed, I was told by the nurse that I could just “take as much as you need” of ibuprofen.

      I’m not over here downing bottles of ibuprofen, but you’d really have to go to town on those before you risk any damage.

        Do you not have a store at all nearby then? Those are literally the most common drugs out there and almost every store should have them them. Maybe you’re more familiar with their brand names, Advil and Tylenol.
