So aspirin can reduce pain and swelling in damaged tissues.But it can also harm the inside of the stomach and small intestine.And sometimes it can cause bleeding.

In a foreign country, the most importing thing is speaking. If i can't speak, i can't tell my illness well. I don't understand what they are talking. So i can't want to help.

But i know that medical care in a foreign country is more advanced than Turkey.
