Whatever works! I say use that line.
In the meantime, Ken (he's a licensed pharm tech) says:
Take two tablets of ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) now.
In two hours, take two tablets of acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Then, in another two hours, take two more ibuprofen.
Two hours later, take the Tylenol again.
Alternate every two hours (each med is only taken every four hours, but spaced out by two hours to prevent side effects) In a simpler example: 7pm - Motrin, 9pm - Tylenol, 11pm - Motrin, 1am - Tylenol, and so forth.
And, he said you need to get to the doctor tomorrow at the very latest. 101 temp for 3 days for an adult is not normal, and needs attention.
