i'm hoping you meant to type "102" degree fever because 112 degrees would send most people into seizure and death. i'm sorry you're going through this. it sounds like you are absolutely miserable. while i cannot diagnose you via internet i will say you are describing the classic symptoms of the flu. fever coughing weakness and general misery are the hallmarks of influenza. unfortunately at day 4 it's too late to get the antiviral flu treatment. on the plus side if this is a case of the flu the fever should go away over the next 24 hours or so. if your fever continues beyond the 4th day you should seek medical attention as soon as possible as this could be a sign of something serious going on. to your question: the maximum daily dose of ibuprofen (advil) as set by the u. s. food and drug administration (fda) is 1200mg per day. you will have to check the label of your bottle to see how many milligrams of ibuprofen are contained in each gelcap you're taking. divide 1200mg by the amount in one capsule to find how many gelcaps you generally can safely take per day. you need to be careful not to take any other cough and cold preparations that also contain ibuprofen. even some branded tylenol products may contain other active ingredients like ibuprofen so read the labels carefully. meanwhile be sure to drink plenty of fluids. i hope you feel better soon. but if you don't be sure to seek medical attention.
