Good morning, ma'am, Acetaminophen (Tylenol and other brands) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin and other brands) if you are not pregnant, have an allergy, or have other contraindications (your pharmacist will be able to confirm this) are the first line of treatment for pain. This being said, if you have been in a car accident (whether as a driver or a pedestrian), it is essential that you consult a doctor quickly for a thorough evaluation of your injuries and to open a file with the SAAQ: the costs related to your treatment will be covered. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist For a new injury, ice, in a damp towel, can be applied for 15 minutes, as often as desired during the day.
