Asking this as I have a horrible throat infection making it incredibly painful to swallow, and therefore difficult to eat and drink. I have to stay on top of my painkillers every four hours or the pain starts to come back, I’d just love to know how this actually works.

Acetaminophen reduces your brains ability to sense pain. Same with opioids.
Ibuprofen, and naproxen are anti-inflammatories and actually reduce the pain.
Many times in the hospitals, at least here in Canada, they will give you one of each, and they work together synergistically.
