I'm not going to bash you for using an Advil and getting some relief. I
could encourage you to use as little of it as you can because of the
damage it can do. But I don't think a couple Advil will kill you.
Although I should add as someone who has taken Advil and every NSAID on
the planet produced up until about 8 years ago that continual use of it
can do some pretty serious damage. If I were to take 1 advil it wouldn't
matter how much prevacid (or other acid reflux med) I took I would end
up with my head between my knees trying not to scream.
