What do i take for a fever from the flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antipyretic: A medication such as Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can lower temperature. If fever persists more than a few days or you have a recurrence of fever or you are getting short of breath or worse instead of better, see your doc. Hope you are better soon! did you get a flu shot?
