Now let's take a look at the situation of painkillers.

What is a good painkiller?

Some pain, taking painkillers will cover up the real condition. A lot of pain, especially the pain of internal organs, it is difficult for patients to identify what is wrong. If you take painkillers blindly and prematurely, although it can temporarily relieve the pain, it is not conducive to the doctor's observation of the disease and judgment of the disease site, correct diagnosis and timely treatment because it covers the location and nature of the pain after taking painkillers. In addition, after taking analgesics, the patient will feel no pain temporarily, but in fact, the disease may be further worsening, such as massive hemorrhage of ectopic pregnancy, secondary necrosis and perforation of appendicitis. This temporary pain relief will cover up the real condition, aggravate the development of the disease, and cause serious consequences. Therefore, once there is pain caused by disease or unexplained pain, patients should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of pain.

There is also a misunderstanding about the side effects of analgesics: some people think that taking analgesics occasionally and in small doses will not damage the gastrointestinal tract, but it is not. Studies have shown that gastric mucosal damage can occur in healthy people 16 minutes after taking aspirin. Similarly, some studies have confirmed that a single or low dose of NSAIDs can cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation.

Some people think that taking analgesics after meals or using topical analgesics will not damage the gastrointestinal tract, this concept is also wrong. The damage of NSAIDs to gastrointestinal tract can be divided into two parts. One is the local stimulation caused by the drug staying in the stomach, which can be alleviated by taking after meals or using topical analgesics. But fundamentally, more than 80% of the effects of analgesics are through blood circulation to affect the gastric mucosa, this kind of damage is unavoidable after meals and the use of topical analgesics.

matters needing attention

According to the actual needs, on the premise of ensuring safety, the drug dose should be increased from small to large until the patient is relieved of pain. For example, if you don't want to get well soon, increase the dosage without authorization; It's wrong not to take the medicine seriously, to take it when you think about it, to forget it if you don't think about it, or to take it twice and take it once.
