World Health Organization recommends using paracetamol to treat coronavirus symptoms, instead of anti-inflammatories. Here's why.

The World Health Organization has recommended that people suffering from the symptoms of the virus avoid taking ibuprofen drugs such as Advil. Instead, the organization suggests taking paracetamol, such as Acamol (Tylenol).

They studied why the disease pathway in Italy is more serious, finding that most patients took ibuprofen at home. Researchers joined the virus and ibuprofen in the laboratory and came to the conclusion that administering ibuprofen accelerates multiplication of the virus and is related to a more serious course of the disease. They recommend to avoid ibuprofen and to administer paracetamol, aspirin, diclofenac.

FWIW, as of 3 days ago, Canada still going with use of both.

Still can find nothing from CDC or NIH.

This all makes sense to me. We have a farm where we can work hard from early to late. We would come in at night and pop Advil to relieve the aches and pains of our aging bodies. My husband developed angioedema from this which lasted for months - even after he stopped taking Advil. He would wake up looking like he was the loser in a prize fight from time to time (eyes swollen shut, lips ballooned up.) It was scary but after about a year of diet changes, antihistamines, and supplements he has been clear since.

No. If you speak English and understand that words actually MEAN something, what you said is patently and provably false.

This is not exactly a new issue, but a knowledge factor gained by testing use of nsaids with viral infections such as influenza, resulting in production/retention of more fluids or pus in the pleural cavity (encapsulating membrane of lungs.)

An older study implicated nsaids with promoting movement of viral infection from lungs to nervous tissue.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2951171/

The points of entry of virus in to a cell can be enhanced by use of nsaids. ”ACE2 can also be increased by thiazolidinediones and ibuprofen.”
