Ibuprofen does not reduce a fever, it reduces inflammation. Tylenol would have made this meme work
Edit: I was wrong
The first sentence on ibuprofens wikipedia page under "Medical uses":
Anti-inflammatories reduce fevers, are there even anti-inflammatories that don't have that effect to some extent?
So I was about to correct you that Tylenol is actually acetaminophen; turns out paracetamol is just another name for the same chemical. TIL
they both come from the chemical name - para-acetylamino-phenol (or, more proper,, N-acetyl-para-aminophenol). random people chose different parts to shorten the name
