A member asked:
Can my 18 year old son take ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) along with the tamiflu?

Sure: There is no problem with this. Ibuprofen has a longer half life and thus lasts longer. It is also better for pain. Hope he is feeling better! 600 to 800 mg of ibuprofen is a good dose for his age.

Yes: Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Ibuprofen can help with the fever and body aches that are usually associated with the influenza infection
