Just as a note, if you're not sure if you have COVID or not, avoid ibuprofen as it can make some COVID symptoms worse
Good luck!
I thought this was an early misconception of the pandemic and had since been debunked?
Indeed:

My best reading of the data is that it could make things negligibly worse. I'd say avoid it unless you feel your symptoms really warrant it, and if so then don't really worry about it.
Hmm, you might be right, I'm too lazy to search it right now tho
Yeah I usually avoid ibuprofen anyways due to asthma! Going to have to try some chicken soup!
