Thoughts with regard to applying darwinian medicine (e.g., no nsaids) to minor injuries (sprains, contusions, and broken fings./toes)?

Fever in 5 month bab: You can give tylenol (acetaminophen) drops 0.4 ml and can be repeated if needed every 4 hours.If fever persists then the baby needs to be checked by your pediatrician.

NSAID treat symptoms: If darwinian means natural selection, that would be no treatment. All treatments have risks and should be weighed against benefits. Nsaids only treat symptoms, but don't cure arthritis, protect joints, prophylax anything. Risks include slow healing of bone/soft tissue by blunting inflammation that is part of healing, kidney/liver toxicity, ulcers, rashes, anticoagulation to increase bleeding, etc.
