@skyblond Seeing your excitement, I recommend you to not like NSAIDs too much. They are considered safer than they are by too many people. While taking a few tablets will do nothing bad, more frequent use of NSAIDs is suspected to cause some bad diseases such as Crohn's, which is incurable. The main problem is damage to the epithelium of GI tract. So don't overuse them.
@causa_arcana Thanks for the tip! Generally I don't want to rely on certain pills since I will probably go to hospital if the syndrome lasts for a long time. For my throat, over the weekend (which is not good due to the cold), I think that one pill of ibuprofen is all I take.
