You need to split the ibuprofen and the paracetamol by about 3 hours. These are both pain medicines - you don't want to take a bunch of pain medicines together. It is quite save, however, to take one, wait 3 hours, then switch and take the other. You can keep switching back and forth in this way until you feel better.
The codeine I would be more careful with - it is OK to take this with one or the other of the other two drugs, but I would not take codeine any closer than every 4 hours.

How much paracetamal and ibrofen can you take at once?
You can take paracetamol four times a day, and ibuprofen 3 times. So you could take 1000mg of paracetamol (2 tablets, if you're over 12) with breakfast, lunch and dinner and at bedtime, and 400mg of ibuprofen (if over 12) mid morning, mid afternoon and mid evening, for a painkilling regime where you get to take something every couple of hours. If you were having to do this all day every day, you should be visiting your GP for optimal help with your symptoms. You can take the tablets together, if you had a headache you could take two paracetamol and 400mg ibuprofen together, or 500mg of paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen - always better to start with the smaller dose and see if it works for you before going in with the maximum! But you still need to remain within the daily limits described.
