Where is Advil made?

Advil is a popular brand of ibuprofen, an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Advil is manufactured by Madison NJ based Wyeth and has been on the market since 1984. Marketing slogans have included "Advanced Medicine for Pain" and most recently "The Every Pain Reliever". Throughout its history, Advil advertising often compared it to both aspirin and Tylenol portraying both as "old fashioned" or "out of date" drugs. For example, one print advertisement showed aspirin and Tylenol in the background with the years they came out (1898 and 1955 respectively) and Advil shown as "Today's" drug (except upon its introduction in 1984, when "1984" was shown). Another example is a television commercial (about mid to late 1990s) showing "flashbacks" of previous generations using aspirin or Tylenol and showing Advil as being used by the current generation

How long does it take for a fever to go away in a toddler after giving ibuprofen?

Usually 20 to 30 minutes, but it is inadvisable to reduce fevers, as they are actually the body's first (and often, best) defense against infection.

Fevers don't pop up for no reason; your child is fighting off something, and reducing his fever literally means reducing his ability to destroy the bacteria or virus that is attacking his system.

Your body raises its temperature on purpose when it detects an enemy because your immune system functions better in a hotter environment, and heat weakens and kills bacteria/viruses (which is why we cook our food instead of eating it raw). The body is very good at controlling its temperature (except in very young babies - 6 months or less), and will not let your child's fever get "out of control."

People have unnecessarily feared fever for thousands of years because they didn't know about the infections that the fevers try to fight; all they saw was someone running a high fever, and maybe dying later or losing their hearing or something. They didn't know that fever causes none of those things - losing the battle to the infection does.
