Will ibuprofen take away the fever and cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ibuprofen cuts fever: True that Ibuprofen or Motrin will reduce a fever. This is something of a "bandaid" therapy however and doesn't get to the root of the problem. Chicken soup (good nutrition/fluids) and rest are important.. Also sleeping well should help u recover. Finally, be sure to take food with Ibuprofen to protect the stomach. Personally I drink ginger tea with honey- that helps my colds!
