What's the best one nanons?
Are the most popular ones the best, or are the best ones lesser known?

Please keep it a reasonable & legal discussion, ie "just take a toke man" doesn't count as an answer.

A wet cold rag and hydration for a fever jew

Well of course, if you have a cold or some bullshit.

What about headaches though?
A cold rag ain't gonna do shit.

I have headaches. I take some pills like paracetamol. I don't think that's right because pain goes away eventually on its own and mostly I deserve it for doing something wrong with my body. But I cannot stand it usually, so I take pills. Any painkillers are fine, paracetamol/aspirin are one of the weakest though.

Are headaches really that bad? I usually just power through it or sleep it off.

If you don't live in a place with legal medical marijuana, I feel bad for you, son, I got ninety-nine problems, but a dope charge ain't one.

Paracetamol aka Acetaminophen.

>>15138
lol
In the 1920s parents could order morphine to give to their baby.
Morphine would be like using a MOAB to deal a few escaped convicts.


I was expecting someone would give some alternative I hadn't heard of.
"Zaackacackamenophen" or something, "it's the best but you have to special request it at the pharmacy, since not many know about it. The glowers try to hide it from us cuz it's the best".

I figured Ibuprofen was suspect, but that site seems a little shaky.
At the end it recommends curcumin, of which apparently there is no evidence that it has any benefit?

Still interesting though.

They're a supplement company. They shill their supplements in most of their articles--not a place to go for objective supplement information.

Either an Aspirin or it's one that won't go away no matter what so you weather it out.

You sure nanon? Just getting over a fever and I'm pretty sure the tylenol I took yesterday helped out a bit. I still had a headache, just a less painful one.
In contrast, the Advil I took today didn't do anything, think I felt worse after taking it.

Maybe I'm too retarded to get a serious headache. Even when I get a fever it's usually mild to average and I can block it out with enough distractions. The only annoying parts are a heavy head and feeling tired after walking 3 feet from bed. I try to take medicine only when necessary, there were a couple of times when I drank that powdered shit with paracetamol in it against flu symptoms, when it got too much.

Acetaminophen is an effective antipyretic and analgesic for headaches.

The only people I've seen get headaches were already fairly unhealthy. Drink some water, soyboys.

Nanonymous No.15221 [D]
>>15201
You take more aspirin according to the directions.
There's everything from baby aspirin to low dosage aspirin to regular aspirin which can obviously change how "effective" it is.
Also that's defeatists garbage.

>>15212
I am convinced that Acetaminophen and Aspirin are the best/most safe to use unless someone convinces me otherwise.

>>15216

Yeah, even if you drink enough water (and it's good water, not the fluoridated shit they pump into your domicile or the bottled plastic fluoridated water) you can still get a headache.

Nanonymous No.15229 [D] >>15230
Diclofenac for regular muscle pain
-oxicam for bad muscle pain (use only briefly)

Nanonymous No.15230 [D]
>>15229
The side-effects of Diclofenac sound horrendous, why use it over Aspirin or Acetaminophen? Just strength or...?

Nanonymous No.15232 [D] >>15306
>why use it over Aspirin or Acetaminophen?
Paracetamol is a placebo and Aspirin isn't available as a topical cream.

Quite a few randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies contradict your idiotic assertion.

Paracetamol is not a placebo either.

Your thoughts are welcome though, had not heard of Diclofenac or Oxicam.

I have not heard of a person that actually feels any relief with Paracetamol. I ask a lot of people about it.

I also asked someone else and it worked for them.
