Regarding the daily dose of Naproxen, it is in the middle of the upper recommended dose. It seems to be safe.
You may continue as long as the medical prescription recommends and stop if the symptomatology improves, always under supervision of the prescribing doctor.
Of course, in these difficult period of Covid outbreak it would be wise to stay safe and use virtual consultation regarding health issues.
Feel free to ask me again, in case of any further health issues.
