    I will discuss two pain meds,tylenol and advil,I would suggest Tylenol because there are greater risks with Advil than tylenol.

    Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others): It decreases pain, but doesn't reduce inflammation. An overdose can cause liver damage.

    Aspirin: Aspirin makes your blood less able to clot -- a benefit since many heart attacks and strokes are caused by blood clots. Key risks are stomach ulcers and bleeding.

    Hope this helps, but if this is serious go to your doctor to discuss even more safer pain relief options, Hope this helps :).
