Ibuprofen vs Paracetamol

i ain't no doctor, but i'm telling you guys that paracetamol (aka. panadol) is crap. for those who are alien to the term ibuprofen, it's an anti-inflammatory drug which is more or less similar to panadol and can be bought OTC (over the counter) at pharmacies in forms of Nurofen or Advil.

been sick for the past 2 days and i was being prescribed paracetamol for my cold/fever by the doctor. i followed the doctor's instructions and took the paracetamol for 1 whole day. at the end of the day, i was still feeling at crap, feeling little or no improvement, that's when i went ransacking in my little medicine stash for my ever-trusty Advil and it really paid off.

not only did it cure my cold/fever, even my sore throat was almost gone this morning. i am never taking paracetamol again. EVER.

but well, like i said, i ain't no doctor, so if you take my word for it and it doesn't work, don't blame me.

if you need more convincing, take a look at this:
