General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Sciatica is caused by irritation of the root of the sciatic nerve.
I recommend using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. I also recommend using anti-inflammatory cream such as Voltaren gel. Heat pads in the local area can help.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
