I have heard that you should not use ibuprofen because it makes it worse. is this true or not?

Not enough data: One study in Europe made a loose correlation with Covid problems. This was a small study and has not been repeated elsewhere. There is not enough data to determine whether ibuprofen has any impact on the course of a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
