Brief Answer:
You may..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If you have no past kidney disease and gastritis then is no harm in taking Advil or Motrin for not more than two times daily. However if it's only fever, then I would choose only acetaminophen tablets (Tylenol) instead of advil or motrin.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
