I’m full of cold or flu. Taken some paraceptamol to reduce the fever. What do you like to do to feel better even for a short period of time. Need some tips! Feeling so crap

Chicken soup (placebo yes but works for me)
Ibuprofen
Plus one for chicken soup, always seems to help. Also orange juice and fresh air (while keeping warm)
Had this bad boy in the fridge…
Time to give it a go. Get well soon!
Ibuprofen all the way for the flu. I think its a more effective antipyretic, and it will help with the inflammatory response that causes the body aches.
Paracetamol is acetaminophen and is not supposed to be regularly mixed with ibuprofen.
Edit for clarity, it’s not recommended to do so regularly.
That’s not true
You can take it at the same time and usually you take it in 2 hour intervals alternating.
You are not supposed to swallow them together or right after the other, that’s right. But you can alternate them safely and take ibuprofen before the paracetamol starts wearing off (roughly four hours after the other).
Of course it’s not ideal to take ibuprofen regularly for days on end. And don’t exceed the maximum dose at any given time.
Personally paracetamol does nothing for me, so I rely on ibuprofen solely.
This isn’t true. You can take them together. You should not take them together regularly though without a doctor’s okay.
