Advil (ibuprofen) and Tylenol (acetaminophen) are two of the most commonly used pain relievers. They’re readily available over the counter and are helpful for treating fevers or minor aches and pains. But Advil and Tylenol are quite different from each other. For instance, Advil can help reduce inflammation (swelling), while Tylenol doesn’t.
