Yes, this will be fine, application of ice and the use of paracetamol will not alter inflammation in the scheme of things. Ice 5 minutes per hour every hour for 1-2 days whilst you are awake. The use of panadol can also help as this is not a NSAID. Keep well, and be patient, results are maximal at 12- 16 weeks. Dr Isobel Walker. Brisbane. Australia.
