Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You can take paracetamol or Ibuprofen for pain. It does not cause constipation. Do not take on empty stomach. Take plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
