Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Advil (ibuprofen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). You can take 1 tablet every 4 to 6 hours. Advil may cause gastrointestinal side effects such as abdominal pain, belching or heartburn. Take it after a meal with plenty of fluids to decrease side effects.

Hope I have answered your query.
