I just had my first PRP almost 50 days after my FUE operation.Should I take painkillers,antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs??

My doctor has recommended me to consume a painkiller,anti-inflammatory drug and an antibiotic for three days.The thing is,I felt a considerable amount of pain and pricking during the procedure but right now I don't feel any sort of discomfort. I have also read that pain killers and other drugs reduce the efficiency of PRP.Should I take these drugs or not? I don't feel the need to take these though.
