I haven't heard anything new, and my pulmonologist would definitely tell me. I do avoid ibuprofen as much as I can, keeping it "in reserve" for days when my usual approaches aren't enough - it doesn't make me pain-free but it takes the edge off enough to function.

Sue-
I should have mentioned acetaminophen also. I have rarely all my life taken over the counter pain medications. I often might should have taken something for relief but more than often worked through whatever was mildly wrong without the over the counter meds.
I realize possibly some what the same advice, just like ibuprofen keep it 'in reserve" for all the reasons with ibuprofen....however...is one better to take than another if truly needed?
Do you know? Be it not on antibiotics or on antibiotics....what pain/fever over the counter med least problem with BE/antibiotics.
Thanks,
Barbara
