A member asked:
I took 2 pills of ibuprofen about and hour and a half ago. i have a fever and i was wondering if it is safe to take dayquil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Dayquil has a decongestant, cough suppressant and acetaminophen in it. Yes, it can be combined with ibuprofen. However, it may take a couple of hours for the ibuprofen to lower your fever. Also, it's OK to have a low-grade fever, as it's your body's natural way to "kill" a virus or bacteria, and thus, it's not necessary to lower your temperature to a normal level.
