You could be allergic to the coating and you could also be allergic to Advil. You should try another pain reliever so you don't have these symptoms.

Why do they put a coating on Advil?
The Advil coating is NOT enteric coated. Enteric coating is used on certain medications, most notably NSAIDS (naproxen, acetylsalicylic acid/aspirin) so the release of the contents does not occur until it has reached your small intestine and thus reduces the stomach pains associated with NSAIDS. The Advil coating makes them easier to swallow and taste better, but it is not a formal enteric coating. If it was, trust in the fact marketing would highlight this and claim Advil has an advantage over other ibuprofen based products.

What is the difference between Advil and Motrin?
The active ingredient in both, ibuprofen, is the same. What is different is the coating, shape of the pill, bindings and other inactive ingredients.
Is there a difference between Advil and ibuprofen?
Not really. While its candy coating is alluring on the surface, Advil is simply a brand name; its active ingredient is ibuprofen, a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Advil might contain slightly different additives than a generic ibuprofen—if you’re curious about this, consult your pharmacy—but both should be equally effective at treating your symptoms.
Can you take Zyrtec and advil cold and sinus?
Yes. Zyrtec is a 24 hour antihistamine which decreases the allergic response in your sinuses, lungs, eyes, skin, etc. Advil (ibuprofen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory which must be taken every 6-8 hours and treats pain and inflammation through out your body. Some people should not take ibuprofen at all but there is no interaction between Zyrtec and Advil.
Is there a difference between Advil and generic ibuprofen?
They may have different dyes and fillers in the tablets, so a person could be allergic to one and not the other. An allergy to Advil is probably more likely, since the tablets are colored in an effort to make them look distinct and generic tablets are often not colored. Included in Advil's coating is a small amount of sugar to make them taste better initially. A brand-name medication holds the patent on a medication, which means several years of exclusive sales without generic sales possible. Drugs which have generic equivalents have been out on the market for many years (according to drug patent laws) before its generic equivalent can be legally sold. The goal of companies manufacturing generic medications is to outsell the brand name, which leads to cutting costs by using simpler packaging, cheaper medication filler, and avoiding advertising. Advil costs more, and it almost always makes sense to buy the generic instead. There have been cases when people have been allergic to the filler used in the brand or generic drugs, but people will sometimes exclusively request brand name at pharmacies because they think it is better.
