A member asked:

My husband insists me to take ibuprofen when i feel feverish but no fever as he feels that if done it vil stop onset of fever. is this right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Why stop fever?: Taking medication in an attempt to "prevent" a symptom that you don't even know you are going to get is unnecessary. Fever itself is a symptom of something else. It is not dangerous. I don't know why you feel "feverish" or what other symptoms you are having, but trying to stop a fever won't fix the issue that would have led to it in the first place. Make sense?
