Brief Answer:
Take omeprazole for relief!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed this information and it is suggestive of a possible Ibuprofen induced gastritis. I will suggest that you stop this medication and take omeprazole to control the acid problem. Cough, especially without mucus production and sore throat are typical of acid related disease. Try this drug and let me know how you are doing within 24-48hours of starting it. Also, add tylenol to substitute for the ibuprofen.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
