Re: Nurse's advice if you get sick from the new virus

Advil is left out of the revised? article below.  I listed to an audio message tonight cautioning those sick not to take Advil for the fever as it makes the new corona virus worse.  Source:

My understanding is Tylenol only.

Advil  (along with  other NSAIDS such as Motrin) is more of a muscle//body ache remedy.........Tylenol is the fever-reducer, I believe.

 

I think this new virus creates both body aches AND fever, from what I've read about it from the victims.
