No expert, but my take on this is that medicines work because they resemble the chemicals your body already makes itself. Better not interfere with a finely balanced immune system in which pain is an essential signal for the body to cope with infections and injuries. It might be more comforting to take a pill against something but I'm afraid it messes up the immune system too much, better to avoid that as much as possible. Works fine for me.

And this is why you are not an expert. Maybe you should talk to an expert and clear your doubts

Yes and no: address the cause of the pain and the pain itself. For example if you're hung over then drink a load of water and eat some food, but have some ibuprofen too. Medical professionals tell you to do this.
