A member asked:
Ibuprofen with chickenpox? already know aspirin can cause "reye's syndrome" but i've been on ibuprofen with my cp. everything seems to have improved..

Chicken pox: While you are indeed correct that Aspirin use has been associated with reye's , this is not the case with any of the other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaid's). So it is fine to use Ibuprofen with chicken pox.
