Hi,

I'm not an expert, but I know that ibuprofen (advil) is not allowed, but acetominiphen (tylenol) is ok. I'm pretty sure that there are children's liquid versions of tylenol that should be ok. I hope this helps.

There is liquid Tylenol (children and adult versions) and regular tylenol.  You might want to double check with your surgeon.  I was allowed to swallow pills 3 days after surgery.

I was allowed to swallow pills by your stage of the game, but initially, I used Tylenol Jr melts that dissolved on my tongue.  I'm not sure if they were Tylenol brand or a store brand, but they worked when I needed them.
