Is it safe to require ibuprofen to deal with signs and symptoms of COVID-19?

IBUPROFEN

Some French doctors advise against using ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, many generic versions) for COVID-19 symptoms supported reports of otherwise healthy people with confirmed COVID-19 who were taking an NSAID for symptom comfort and evolved a severe illness, specifically pneumonia.. These are only observations and not supported scientific studies.

The WHO to begin with encouraged using acetaminophen in preference to ibuprofen to help lessen fever and aches and pains related to this coronavirus infection, however now states that both acetaminophen or ibuprofen are regularly used. Rapid changes in recommendations create uncertainty. Since some doctors remain concerned about NSAIDs, it still seems prudent to settle on acetaminophen first, with a complete dose not exceeding 3,000 milligrams per day.

However, if you think or know you've got COVID-19 and can't take acetaminophen, or have taken the utmost dose and still need symptom relief, taking over-the-counter ibuprofen doesn't got to be specifically avoided.
