Hello,
I have studied your case and I can assure you that there is no harm in taking antibiotics with ibuprofen. Some time ibuprofen can cause increase in asthma but if there is no increase then you can take both medication safely.
Along with Brufen you can also take hot water fomentation and Brugel local application. Once your pain subsides then you can start physiotherapy.
Patient with dislocation always have chances of recurrence. In such cases you need to get MRi and some time there is need of surgery to repair broken ligament.
i hope this answer will be useful for you.let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
