Which anti-inflammatory won't interact with Hyperkalemia?

I’m on a medication that causes hyperkalemia if I take NSAIDs with it. I have very high inflammation, Doctors have prescribed Naproxen, Ibuprofen, Toradol and Meloxicam. They all made me ill for days. Is there any medication for inflammation that won’t interact with Hyperkalemia?

You are having’ medications that are causing issues with your potassium levels. You need to avoid NSAIDs such as Naproxen, Ibuprofen, Toradol, and Meloxicam because they can aggravate your high potassium levels. You may discuss with your doctor the possibility of using Acetaminophen or Celecoxib medications, as they usually do not affect potassium levels. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication routine.

Cough not cure for 2 years

Female | 39

A cough that has lasted for 2 years can be a serious issue that we need to investigate. It could be attributed to several causes such as asthma, allergies, or even acid reflux. Other symptoms such as chest pain or difficulty breathing might give us clues. It's essential to go to a doctor for proper assessment and treatment. Don't postpone, as controlling the main issue can promote the relief of that intractable cough.

Difficulty in breathing, production of mucus and chest congestion could be a result of a respiratory infection or an allergy. A pulmonologist should be consulted to diagnose and treat the condition.

Male | 24

A wet cough that keeps on going for a long time can be a sign of various other underlying ailments such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and asthma. It is recommended to visit a doctor who can evaluate your symptoms and offer you the right treatment. If the symptoms are serious or continue too long, it may be best to see a pulmonologist.
