Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You may combine together Aspirin and Advil as long as you wait 5-10 hours between pills.

This is why I strongly recommend that you should wait at list 5 hours before taking Advil.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
