Your doctor might advise taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) corticosteroid therapy to reduce inflammation.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a BLOOD UREA NITROGEN (BUN) Test or Take a HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV) TYPE 1&2 IgM and IgG Test

Book BLOOD UREA NITROGEN (BUN) Test Book HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS (HSV) TYPE 1&2 IgM and IgG Test
