LATE NIGHT SHOWING IN BORO PARK & MONSEY, THURSDAY AT 11 PM.
How do you make the world’s most trusted accounting system do what it wasn’t built to do?
BQE Stucco, a national construction supplier, needed a solution to handle both in-person and online transactions, something Quickbooks wasn’t designed for. But our agents don’t take no for an answer. Fueled by deep know-how and grit few can match, we tested every angle and engineered a custom-integrated card reader to make every payment type possible. Today, BQE continues to operate without limits.

YOUR WEEKLY LINK TO PERFECT HEALTH
Your Weekly Q&A with PHC Medical Center
What’s
the difference between Tylenol, Motrin, and Advil? When should I choose one over the other, and are there situations where
I should avoid any of them? How many hours should I wait between
doses?
Also, I’ve seen recent news about a possible link between Tylenol and autism — can you explain what the research actually says and whether it’s something to be concerned about?
Nosson Hayum FNP
So, Tylenol has recently been in the news quite a bit in relation to possible dangers in pregnancy, so I guess this is a good time to discuss this topic. There are two main medications that are commonly used as over-the-counter treatments for pain and fever. They are ibuprofen and acetaminophen, and we will talk a bit about each of them. Before we do that, I want to quickly talk about medication names. When a manufacturer develops a new drug and applies to the FDA for approval, the medication is assigned a generic name by the FDA (acetaminophen, ibuprofen
etc) the manufacturer will then give its own name that they think is fitting and good for marketing and usually easier to use (Tylenol, Motrin, Advil etc) so it may be a bit confusing to see two different names on your medicine bottle, but this is the reason why.
Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) has been around for over a hundred years and has been used successfully and generally safely for the management of mild to moderate pain and fever. It has also been considered safe to use in pregnancy and infants. Recent news stories regarding safety in pregnancy are vague and questionable at best, and at worst have further blurred the lines between medical research and partisan politics that unfortunately permeate the world of medicine today.
So, before throwing out the Tylenol bottle you have at home, have a conversation with your doctor, because for many people, this is the safest medicine to use for fever and pain. The common dangers of acetaminophen are liver injury and overdose risk. People with liver disease need to be careful and consult with medical providers before taking. Overdoses can be extremely dangerous and should be reported as well. Acetaminophen can be used every four hours when needed, but talk to your doctor if you need more than three doses in a 24-hour period. Acetaminophen is available in pill, liquid, IV, or suppository forms.
Have a health question you’d like answered in this column? Write to: info@phcmedical.org
Ibuprofen, sold under the brand names Motrin and Advil (yes, they are the same medicine), is a newer medicine developed in the 1960s. This medicine is part of a bigger family of medications called NSAIDs, which were developed to reduce inflammation caused by rheumatic disease. Other medications in this family that
are commonly used are Aleve, Indocin, Toradol, and Mobic. Ibuprofen is available in pill and liquid forms, while some NSAIDs are available in IV or injection form as well (no approved NSAID suppositories are available). The frequency of use ranges from once a day to four times a day, and doses vary as well. These medications have a bit of a wider side effect profile, including cardiac, blood pressure, bleeding risks, ulcers, and renal disease. People with these diseases or at risk for them should discuss use with their medical providers before taking. However, in healthy young adults and children, ibuprofen is considered safe to use short-term for fever, pain, or inflammation and can be taken every six hours. The risks of a dangerous overdose are much less than with acetaminophen.
Overall, in people with a more complex medical history, acetaminophen will usually be a safer option, while people dealing with pain due to inflammation will do better with ibuprofen. But like everything else, the human body is a complex machine, and everyone's situation is a bit different, so discuss with your medical provider what is best for you.

SHIFRA FRIED
Succos is supposed to be the yomtov of joy. Zman simchaseinu. Singing in the sukkah, family meals, Divrei Torah, cozy moments together. That’s the picture we carry in our minds.
But here’s the part that doesn’t get spoken about as much: the pressure that lands squarely on a mother’s shoulders. Suddenly, everyone’s home for days. The house is buzzing with energy, noise, and needs—from toddlers to teens to married kids dropping by or moving in. And somewhere inside, there’s this little voice whispering, it’s my job to make sure everyone is happy, inspired, connected.
And when it doesn’t look that way—when the kids are restless, the sukkah meal falls flat, or family time turns into bickering—that same voice comes back sharper: Why can’t I get my act together? Everyone else seems to manage. Maybe I’m just not doing enough.
The truth behind that voice.
You are not failing. You are human. And Succos, with all its beauty, also brings layers of challenge: too many days off school, different personalities under one roof, exhaustion from hosting, and the weight of high expectations.
No one—no one—has it all together, no matter how it looks on the outside. Behind every glowing sukkah photo is a spilled cup, a child who refused to come to the table, and a mother who wondered if she was doing enough.
Releasing the burden.
Your job on Succos is not to orchestrate perfect harmony. It’s to show up with presence. To do your best with the tools and energy you have right now. Sometimes that means a lively family meal; other times it means sandwiches in the sukkah with half the kids missing. Both are valid. Both count.
Happiness doesn’t come from you forcing it. It shows up in small, unexpected ways—a child proudly holding their lulav, siblings laughing to-
gether over something silly, a teenager surprising you by joining in the singing for a minute, or everyone enjoying that one dish you thought no one would touch. Those are the moments that count, and they don’t need perfection to be meaningful. Giving yourself permission.
It’s okay if not everyone is thrilled. It’s okay if some days feel long. It’s okay if your Succos doesn’t look like your neighbor’s. You are not doing it wrong. You’re living real life, with real people, and that is more than enough.
Succos isn’t about creating picture-perfect memories. It’s about knowing that Hashem is with you right in the middle of the noise, the laughter, and even the tension. The sukkah reminds us that a fragile space can still be filled with holiness—and the same is true for your home. Your efforts, even if messy or imperfect, are exactly what your family needs.
Your family doesn’t need perfection. They need you.
