ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug. Whether it will provide relief for your foot inflammation on its own depends on the underlying cause of the inflammation. Talk with your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

How do you recognize inflammation?

If the area is swollen and warm to the touch it is a sign that there is inflammation but if it's internal then you would need to have a Cat scan or an MRI.

Take ibuprofen such as advil that will bring down the inflammation and help with the pain.
