Ibuprofen does not reduce a fever, it reduces inflammation. Tylenol would have made this meme work
Edit: I was wrong
Tylenol is a brand of acetaminophen, which is bad for your liver.
Can't ibuprofen also damage your liver?
My understanding is that ibuprofen is processed in the kidneys, and if Tylenol was up for FDA approval today it would go down in flames due to safety concerns
