Yes. I have always advised alternating paracetamol and Ibuprofen at 2 hourly intervals (make sure each is just the one ingredient not mixed with anything else.

Yu could take the paracetaml now.

But you still couldn't have the next lot of ibuprofen til 5.15 at the earliest.

I've checked that they are not mixed ingredients.
