A member asked:
I have strep throat and the doctor prescribed me amoxicillin , is it safe to take advil (ibuprofen) at the same time for the pain?

Yes!: Advil or tylenol (acetaminophen) would be perfectly appropriate to help your pain . They will not interfere with the amoxil. Salt water gargles and cholaseptic spray will also help. Lots of warm liquids.
