  > But you don't have to believe me as I read and don't make bibliographies in all of my posts. We certainly don't have to make them in all posts, but I think it's reasonable to request that we make them in what are hopefully a small number of posts wherein we offer medical advice.

    No one should be accepting anything online as medical advice. It's like high finance, if you base every purchase on what you read on Yahoo finance you are going to lose your shirt. If you take health advice online you might die. Nobody is giving advice here. We are having a discussion. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. - Bacon

  your link does not support what you wrote. You wrote > "Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammation drug, which means it weakens somewhat your immune system" The article says > anti-inflammatory drugs are known to be a risk for those with infectious illnesses because they tend to diminish the response of the body’s immune system. weakens the immune system != weakens the response of the immune system As for ibuprofen vs tylonol there's this https://www.thisamericanlife.org/505/use-only-as-directed https://www.thisamericanlife.org/505/use-only-as-directed ibuprofen may or may not be worse for you if you catch covid-19 but tylonol has never worked for me personally.

    The taking of anti-inflammatories [ibuprofen, cortisone … ] could be a factor in aggravating the infection. In case of fever, take paracetamol. If you are already taking anti-inflammatory drugs, ask your doctor’s advice.” Ok I'm done in this thread now
