if you take tylenol (advil, etc.) does it target pain or numb everything?
Question:
Answers:
Any over the counter pain medication will treat the entire body. The actual 'pills, caplets, capsules' do not have little brains and they are therefore digested and obsorbed through your stomach (unless enteric coated, then through small intestine) and then the med is circulated through you entire system and will work with the pain center in your brain, which in turn sends the message to the affected area (s) of pain. Example, if you have a tooth ache and a broken toe, both will realize the benefit of a pain killer.

It blocks the pain receptors in your brain so you don't "feel" the pain.
Personally tylenol is like a sugar pill for me, but on a general level I believe it just deadens the pain - it deffinatly doesn't cure anything.
Tylenol is for pain. Advil is an antiflammatory. You may take them together. but neither one numbs the pain. All pain meds go through entire body first. Then goes to the nerves in your brain. They stop the pain long enough for your nerves to heal them self.
