Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM
Well looking into your issue most likely your husband would require small steroid dosage to overcome the attacks . But you will not be able to get it without prescription . For how many days did you use ibuprofen ?. You can try tramadol instead if its available there .
Take care.

2 days for ibuprofen. What does tramadol do that Ibuprofen doesn't?
Brief Answer:
Follows.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
They both belong to different groups , since you had taken ibuprofen just for 2 days then the advise will be to continue it for another 5-7 days to see its whole effect . Tramadol you can take along with it if pain doesnt get controlled.

Dear Madam,
Please accept the apologies for the delay . Tramadol is opioid analgesic and a strong pain reliever but it wont have any affect on swelling and course of disease. . It blunts the pain receptors and hence brings relief . Also it gives mild sedation so the pain is well tolerated .
