According to the information available, it is not recommended to take Advil, or ibuprofen, daily for asthma-related pain without consulting a healthcare professional. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can help reduce pain and inflammation. However, long-term use of NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, can lead to serious side effects such as stomach ulcers, bleeding, and increased risk of heart attack and stroke [1].
Moreover, some studies suggest that NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, can trigger asthma symptoms or worsen existing asthma [2][3]. Therefore, people with asthma should be cautious when taking NSAIDs and should consult their healthcare provider before using them regularly.
In summary, while Advil can help alleviate pain, it is not safe to take it daily for asthma-related pain without consulting a healthcare professional due to the potential risk of serious side effects.
