Is it okay for a 14 year old to have pain killers?!


Question: Is it okay for a 14 year old to have pain killers?
Will it stunt my growth or anything?

Answers:

It is ok, as long as they were prescribed to you by a doctor. Just follow the amounts that you are supposed to take and don't take any more. It shouldn't stunt your growth though.



Of course it is. as long as your not allergic to any of the ingredients then yeah and only take the amount it says I believe its at most 2 per 4hours and possibly at your age 1 every 4 hours, but just read the labels lol, because i don't know which ones your taking.

Enjoy the relief from pain =D

General Knowledge



There is no proof it will inhibit your growth. I know a 5' 10" girl who took painkillers at a young age.
But be cautious. Try Advil or Ibuprofine(they are the same) as they are mild but effective and will not harm your body(anyone who tells you they hurt you or give you stomach ulcers is mistaken) Tylonol kills your liver and there IS a kind that harms your stomach and I think abother brand damages your brain with prolonged use so PLEASE PLEASE take something that uses Ibuprofin as it's main ingredient.

Feel better and stay healthy!



You can have a Tylenol every 4 to 6 hours.

It's fine for a 14 year old to have painkillers-just don't take too many. No more than 2 or 3 a day.
