You may need treatment for pain. Over-the-counter painkillers e. g paracetamol or ibuprofen, may be enough. Always read the patient information with your medicine and if you have any questions, ask your pharmacist. If you're in severe pain, your doctor may prescribe stronger medication. This may include a type of medicine called an opiate e. g morphine for which you may need to go to hospital.
