Not being funny, but if you don't believe in rumours, why have you created a thread about it?

The guardian reported: French authorities have warned that widely used over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs may worsen the coronavirus.

I dont think ibuprofen brings your temp down... hence it being no use. Paracetamol does a d that's what they seem to be recommending.

Ibrufen has been warned against using if children have chicken pox, something to do with the virus. Maybe it’s linked.

Ibruprofen is contraindicated for chicken pox, it can make it worse. It also shouldn’t be taken by anyone with stomach ulcers.

Ask a pharmacist (I’m just the mother of one!). Paracetamol is best for a high temperature.

Ibuprofen (and other NSAID drugs) are known to suppress the immune system (a very specific facet of the immune response) so it's likely that the use of such drugs might impair the normal immune response.

The new evidence suggests that anti-inflammatory drugs are not helpful but worsen your fighting of the Corvid virus. They suppress your immune response.

Paracetamol is a helpful painkiller, that appears OK.

Ibuprofen is also a muscle relaxant that’s why it affects the stomach so probably let’s the virus into your chest easier

We won't be having that talk here! Who needs medical advice when you have the internet and Daily Fail "

It isn't fake news. A quick look at some freely available academic journal articles online will confirm that all NSAIDs, but ibuprofen in particular, are known Cox2 inhibitors. Cox2 is an immune factor required for optimal antibody production. This is a very well known and understood fact in immunology.

Basically the immune response of inflammation and temperature is protecting the body from the virus.

The virus is different from other strains which is why the vaccinations don't work.

Removing the bodies protective measures will no doubt make it worse.

It's not rumours it's common sense.

Infections when you have a temp isn't directly caused by the infection it's a retaliation response that fights the infection same with inflammation.

It's not like arthritic conditions or injuries.

Avoiding anti inflammatories would be better than allowing the virus to overwhelm the body.

People with serious health conditions that take them and steroids are the ones affected the most.

This virus is a huge learning curve, they are struggling to create a vaccine since the virus doesn't affect animals the way it does us it can't replicate itself so the vaccine wouldn't work without precisely knowing how its effects in the human body and how it replicates. Preventing replication and how it adheres to cells is key to immunisation. Creating antibodies and medication that directly assault or prevent its life cycle. They already know the antibodies naturally created don't linger in the body from the original outbreak, be it genetics or viability of the antibodies makeup.

They know more as time goes on so these "rumours" are recommendations to keep you healthy. Calling the advice rumours is just fueling scaremongering.

What if they what know now that with treating the symptoms rather than allowing the body to naturally fight the virus with support of fluids and maintaining the temperature preventing it from getting too high would some of the deaths been prevented?

I'd reccomended for any infection if you have a temperature don't take paracetamol straightaway as this reduces the fever. Only take it when the fever gets too high otherwise you're only prolonging the infection that the natural physical response is trying to rid.
