Tylenol (acetaminophen) IS NOT an NSAID...It has a totally different mechanism of action that is still not quite understood...
Advil (or ibuprofen) is a NSAID...
Having said that, neither is really "better"...
If you have liver problems or drink alot, Tylenol is probably not a good choice.
If you have kidney problems or stomach ulcers, then Advil is probably not a good choice.
How it helps your pain also is determined by each INDIVIDUAL person. Some people respond better to Tylenol while some respond better to Advil.

they are both NSAIDS , advil being ibuprofen and tylenol acetaminophen. Depends on your system. For some A works better for others T.I prefer A. There is no science involved.

No. It is just observing yourself and your reaction to both, and that makes the outcome subjective.

Sure it is...but it's not an easy question to answer.
