      You’re not gonna get addicted to ibuprofen and risks to your kidneys or stomach lining are only worth consideration for regular long term use (2+ weeks of daily use) or for those with contraindicating health issues. Take the ibuprofen. This IS medical advice

      i mean it depends on what is meant by minor pain: hit your head on a cupboard? yeah just wait 10 minutes and you’ll forget about it.
      stomach ache that’s been persistent for half an hour and is making it annoying to do anything? just pop a pill so you can go about your life, it’s fine.
