I have a sore throat and I've been taking ibuprofen. Is it safe to take this medication long term?

It is generally recommended that you consult with your doctor before taking any medications for extended periods of time, especially if you are experiencing side effects or are unsure about the safety of certain medications. You should also check with your doctor regularly to make sure that your medications are working as intended and that there are no potential health risks associated with their use.
