HI.
Sure you can take Theraflu, the contents are acetaminophen (paracetamol) (1000 mg), chlorpheniramine maleate (4 mg), dextromethorphan hydrobromide (30 mg), and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (60 mg).
So you have to stop Ibuprofen.
This is Over the counter medicine and very effective in Tonsillitis, Neck pain and Nasal Congestion along with amoxicillin . Take a bed rest also.
