Conclusion: In this study, use of ibuprofen vs acetaminophen for the treatment of fever or pain in children younger than 2 years was associated with reduced temperature and less pain within the first 24 hours of treatment, with equivalent safety.

Reported side effects
In their own words
“I find curcumin works just as well, if not better, than ibuprofen.”
“I tried paracetamol, ibuprofen, tramadol(all painkillers) and methyl salicylate to decrease inflammation prescribed by my doctor but nothing is working.”
“ibuprofen and weed is supposed to be a good way to inhibit memory loss but I didn't notice much of an effect when I tried.”
“3 days ago I tried 400 mg ibuprofen and I got a much milder version from 2 weeks ago: brain zaps, increased anxiety, high heart rate and elevated BP”
Is Ibuprofen safe? What the research covers
Conclusion: Overall, eletriptan, rizatriptan, sumatriptan, and zolmitriptan had the best profiles and they were more efficacious than the recently marketed drugs lasmiditan, rimegepant, and ubrogepant. Although cost effectiveness analyses are warranted and careful consideration should be given to patients with a high risk cardiovascular profile, the most effective triptans should be considered as preferred acute treatment for migraine and included in the WHO List of Essential Medicines to promote global accessibility and uniform standards of care.
Conclusion: Ibuprofen is as effective as indomethacin in closing a PDA. Ibuprofen reduces the risk of NEC and transient renal insufficiency. Therefore, of these two drugs, ibuprofen appears to be the drug of choice. The effectiveness of ibuprofen versus paracetamol is assessed in a separate review. Oro-gastric administration of ibuprofen appears as effective as IV administration. To make further recommendations, studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of high-dose versus standard-dose ibuprofen, early versus expectant administration of ibuprofen, echocardiographically-guided versus standard IV ibup
