The whole body from head to toe is not only filled with blood vessels that dredge blood throughout the body, but also densely packed with nerves. There will be pain in the nerve areas. There are no nerves in the nails and hair. To exaggerate, you will not feel any pain whether you are cutting with a knife or burning.
Mild pain will pass after a while, but strong pain can be said to be unbearable, so it is not an exaggeration to say that painkillers should be one of the greatest inventions in the world.
Among the many analgesics, ibuprofen is the most common. Many girls use ibuprofen as a life-saving straw when they have dysmenorrhea. So is ibuprofen really a universal analgesic?

Ibuprofen is a universal painkiller? Doctors remind: People in category 4 should avoid taking it to avoid physical harm.
Painkillers are generally divided into two types:
- One is narcotic analgesics
- The other is a non-narcotic analgesic
However, the ibuprofen we usually use belongs to the second type, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic among non-narcotic analgesics. After ibuprofen enters the human body, it inhibits the epoxygenase in the body, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins to relieve mild or moderate inflammatory pain, such as common toothaches, dysmenorrhea, joint pain, headaches, etc.
However, prostaglandins have the effect of protecting the gastric mucosa and reducing gastric acid , gastrointestinal discomfort, and adverse reactions are more likely to occur before using ibuprofen. Therefore, some people will experience nausea, vomiting, and stomach burning after taking ibuprofen, because ibuprofen causes damage to the gastric mucosa, aggravates the condition, and even causes acute gastric mucosal lesions.

Ibuprofen not only relieves pain, but also has these effects
Fever
Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which can lower the set point of the body temperature regulation center and allow peripheral blood vessels to dilate and sweat to dissipate heat. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are two antipyretics recommended by the World Health Organization and are relatively safe even for infants and young children.
Anti-inflammatory
The anti-inflammation mentioned here is not the inflammation caused by bacteria as people understand it. Inflammation caused by bacteria requires the use of specific antibacterial drugs. Ibuprofen can be used to eliminate inflammatory symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain. Ibuprofen has many effects, but it is not suitable for everyone.

Asthma patients
This type of patients will cause body pain because the prostaglandin ibuprofen relieves pain by causing the production of prostaglandins, thereby interfering with the prostate. Prostaglandins can aggravate the condition of asthma, especially asthma patients who are sensitive to the ingredients in ibuprofen, and children with moderate to mild asthma should pay attention.
People with renal insufficiency
Ibuprofen is an analgesic and also needs to be metabolized by the kidneys. Regular use will inevitably increase the burden on the kidneys. Patients with dysfunction or kidney disease should pay more attention, otherwise it will affect the relief of the condition.
Patients with digestive tract diseases
After ibuprofen enters the body, it will be decomposed and digested in the gastrointestinal tract. As an anti-inflammatory drug , it will also irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa. Over time, it may cause digestive tract diseases or worsen the condition of the digestive tract. If you have digestive tract pain, it is best not to take ibuprofen.
Pregnant women
Pregnant women have special bodies, not only ibuprofen, but also other drugs. Be careful that the ibuprofen ingredients will affect the fetus through the placenta, and even cause fetal malformation and miscarriage, insufficient amniotic fluid, and you should pay more attention during lactation.
As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poisonous, but although it is an over-the-counter drug , you should strictly follow the doctor's advice in daily life and do not blindly abuse it. It is best to read the drug instructions carefully before using it. In fact, in this special period, it should be treated with special treatment.
