If I were to take an advil everytime I felt a little queezy or if I felt a cold coming on, could they eventually hurt me even though I was only taking them with the required amounts?

You should be ok -- Advil is much safer and easier on the liver than other NSAIDs like tylenol and aspirin. As long as you're not taking them excessively or in large doses, you should be fine.

Yes. Advil, like any other OTC medication can be harmful to your body and health. Anything from internal bleeding to death. Everyone's body reacts differently towards certain medications weather they are OTC or not. You need to be cautious with any type of medication you take. Advil's no exception. Even if you're to take the recommended dosage, it could cause serious damage to your body. There's no need to pop a pill everytime you don't feel good. Sometimes all you need is a breath of fresh air or just a simple glass of icewater. But, if the symptoms don't get better and proceed to get worse, then, yes, take the recommended dosage. But not ever time. You should also consult with your Doctor if you're still not sure.

In most people, your body can metabolize a certain amount. It doesn't normally build up over time. It is very unsafe to use higher doses but very safe if you don't exceed the recommended dose for the vast majority of people.

if you're following the instructions on the back of the bottle, it shouldn't be dangerous. but also, i would recommend not taking it so often because, when you use something regularly, it stops working, your body doesn't respond to it.

ADVIL CAN BE USED IN MODERATION BUT NOT EVERYDAY. IT CAN HARM YOUR LIVER WHICH FILTERS YOUR BLOOD AND CAN COUS YOU TO HAVE MANY TOXINS IN YOUR BODY DUE TO YOUR LIVER NOT WORKIING. USE EVERY NOW AND THEN.
