Summary
Ibuprofen (also known as Advil or Motrin) is a medication that is known to reduce pain. It is
also known that ibuprofen levels in the blood rise higher and faster if the medication is
taken in liquid suspension. This study will attempt to determine if ibuprofen suspended in a
liquid works to relieve sore throat pain faster than pills of ibuprofen. It will also
determine whether patients with sore throat prefer to take pill or liquid form of the
medication.
