Hello,

Medication like Acetaminophen, ibuprofen or aspirin are used only for pain or fever, they do not have any effect on nasal congestion (runny nose).

If upon measuring body temperature, it is higher then you can take Acetaminophen, it doesn't add to the effect of Eliquis (like Ibuprofen or aspirin) and can be safely taken, in my opinion. As for nasal congestion topical decongestants and antihistamine medication can be taken.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
