Greetings, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and acetaminophen are all good. Acetaminophen is good to reduce fever, aches and pains. Ibuprofen is more for inflammation but can also reduce fever, and pain. Call your doctor as you may have certain medical conditions that need to be considered before taking any medication.
