Can the use of 10 painkillers a month damage the stomach?

Hello. I suffer from the plan of the sphenoid sinus, which causes me severe headaches. And my question is whether max 10 tablets per month (not every day) analgesics (one month it is paracetamol, in the other ibumprom) is a lot? After what time can gastritis occur?

Using up to 10 tablets of painkiller per month is not high doses and there is no high risk of gastric irritation. Unless you suffer from stomach or duodenal ulcers, then even the occasional use of anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. with ibuprofen) may cause exacerbation of the symptoms of the disease. If the treatment carried out so far has proved ineffective, it may be worth consulting a doctor - a specialist may decide on short-term administration of steroids - locally (nasal) or orally. These drugs have a strong anti-inflammatory effect and can cure inflammation - then the use of painkillers will not be necessary. I enclose links to our articles, in which we answer, m.in. questions about what painkillers are safe, how long they can be used and describe the effects and side effects of steroids: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-przeciwbolowe-stosowac https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-sterydy-sa-bezpieczne We also write about how to effectively treat sinusitis here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/skuteczne-sposoby-na-zapalenie-zatok If you need doctor's consultation, here you can use the teleadvice: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja
