Yes you can but: Once you are over with an intestinal infection, most of the time it is done and you can eat everything and go back to your regular diet.Yes you can take advil as long as your stomach is ok, but if you still have nausea or feel little sick i will recommend take tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain as it is gentle on your stomach than advil.

A member asked:
I keep getting head aches that start around either eye, usually my left but now starting at my right. The pain is usually one sided and very strong. Today I have taken Tylenol and ibuprofen in rotation as well as napping to try to kick the head ache and nothing. I am unsure why I get these and they seem to be getting more frequent. Head aches?
