That depends upon the number and the type. I don't advise it.

I suppose that "plain" is supposed to be "pain".

Speaking of which...

I'm not a doctor, but I can try to provide some general information. Swallowing a number of Advil or other pain relievers can be risky and potentially harmful. It is important to always follow the recommended dosage and guidelines provided by the manufacturer or medical professional. Taking more than the recommended dose can lead to an overdose, which can cause various symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, and in severe cases, liver damage or failure. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect an overdose.

If you or someone you know has accidentally taken too many pain relievers or any other medication, it is important to call your local emergency hotline or poison control center right away. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and assistance.
