I don't take medical advice from a group of ancient rock musicians.

I forget the details but Tylenol is margially better because ibuprofen lowers respiratory immunity or the such.

Ibuprofen has been my pain reliever of choice. I may invest in a bottle of Tylenol as a precaution.

My doc told me that if I develop a fever, I should alternate between doses of ibuprofen and acetaminophen every 4 hours. But I'm a (mostly) healthy, mid-40s dude who doesn't have a history of respiratory illness. YMMV.

So, they are saying you should self-quarantine if you have any symptoms. Ok, what are the basic symptoms? Head-ache, sore muscles and cough. Guess what are the basic side effects of my bp-meds...

I basically have splitting head ache and sore muscles twice or thrice a week anyway...

In southern VT we are entering allergy season. Most of us have mild headaches and fevers regardless.

 

[Aeson]

I cough, and sneeze when I eat, and sometimes for a while after I eat. My nose stays stopped up, and gets worse after I eat.
I get the headaches not from taking BP meds but if I forget to take them. So, yeah, these symptoms are way too common. They also describe the symptoms of the cold and the flu.

Fever and cough are the two key signs of the Mexican beer illness.

Ibuprofen is marginally better because it has a lower risk of accidental OD and liver complications.

It's almost like there's no perfect painkiller, or something.
