    however do remember to not mix different pills.

    What? Whenever I’ve needed pain relief enough where I’ve been to the doctor, they tell me to use both ibuprofen and paracetamol, as they have different active ingredients, and that precisely because of that it’s perfectly fine. They stress very much to not take too much of one at a time though.

      my pack of ibuprofen very very explicitly says to not mix pain relievers without a prescription from a doctor

        Yes, but any time I’ve mentioned that to a doctor they’ve said that that’s just a legal disclainer, and it’s not an issue as long as you don’t take more than the normal dose.
