What would happen if I take Ibuprofen after surgery?

Asked By:kimi1125 in San Diego, CA

I am having severe nausea from the oxycodein prescribed to me so I instead took Ibuprophen once and I feel a lot better. Pharmacist said it was better than the Tylenol. Should I stop taking the ibuprofen since I'm reading that Tylenol is better for post-op?
