Yes, fever is the most common symptom of Covid-19 infection. You can take either Tylenol or Motrin for fever, sore throat and body ache but you should not take both together. However, you can take them alternatively if you want, 6 hours apart as needed. If you take Ibuprofen 200 mg OTC, you should take 2 tablets at a time with full stomach. I hope you were already vaccinated. Take care!

Fever is common and the medication may be in alternating doses. Watch for sudden worsening, cough and shortness of breath.
