Loading ...Here’s some info to go with your Advil/ Ibuprofen.. NSAID post.
Keep in mind when telling people especially young people they can sometimes over Medicate without even knowing it sometimes. They can take something with Tylenol in it for instance Alka seltzer used to put Tylenol in cold remedies but changed to aspirin because people were taking Tylenol with it. That’s bad for people who can’t take aspirin including for kids with the flu up to 19 or under due to risk of Ryes syndrome.
Pepto bismol has aspirin and no warning. People don’t recognize its other name.
Tylenol is toxic to the liver.
Nsaids toxic to kidneys.
Anyway there are hypothetical possibilities.
Shrestha says that “some scientists in the past have argued that NSAIDs also dampen the immune response and prolong or increase risk of complications from viral pneumonia. There are some studies which suggest it might be true, but the evidence is not very strong.”

More Evidence Needed
The need for more evidence with regard to using ibuprofen in conjunction with coronavirus infection is a common refrain among experts. Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, professor of medicine and public health at the University of California Los Angeles Fielding School of Public Health, says that currently, “we know very little” about how using ibuprofen may impact a patient’s experience with COVID-19.
One potential connection is that in high doses of NSAIDs can damage the kidneys. COVID-19 can also affect kidney function. “We know that the coronavirus can cause sepsis in severely infected patients and sepsis can be associated with kidney problems,” Klausner says.
But the connection between coronavirus and ibuprofen may not be direct. “Unfortunately, with so many places experiencing patients with COVID-19, almost inevitably we’re going to see some strange associations, and it’s hard to know what’s going to be real and what’s noise,” says Dr. Larry William Chang, associate professor of medicine, epidemiology and international health at the Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.
