I have taken Ibuprofen periodically to help deal with pain, particularly in my lower back due to an injury and an occasionally for headaches. For the most part, it has worked.

If the burning doesn't subside after a short period of time, you should seek medical attention to ensure you aren't allergic to any of the ingredients or experiencing some adverse effect. I'm happy that Zaditor has worked for you. You may want to try some other ophthalmic anti-histamines that work in the same way as Zaditor because you may avoid any... View full comment
