Ibuprofen is superior for inflammation-related pain and has anti-inflammatory properties, unlike acetaminophen. Both are effective for fever reduction. Ibuprofen poses more risks of GI issues, while acetaminophen can be safer for short-term use but has potential for liver toxicity with overuse or in higher doses.
