I was taking a lot of Ibuprofen due to frequent illnesses while simultaneously needing to be healthy. I started to get terrible heartburn that caused me to hunch over at times. Tried dietary changes. Finally, I happened to read that this and ulcers is a side effect of NSAIDs. Switched to acetaminophen, and was generally more judicious about taking fever meds, and I haven’t had heartburn in months now.

Acetaminophen doesn't deteriorate the stomach lining like NSAIDs, but it also isn't anti-inflammatory. It's an analgesic and antipyretic.

Yes, I mention this all in the context of needing a fever reducer

Did you take your Ibuprofen with some food?
