How to reduce fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some thoughts...: Tylenol (acetominophen) or Motrin (Advil, ibuprofen) are over-the-counter medicines that decrease fever. Tylenol can be used from 2 months onwards, and may be given every 4 hours if needed. Motrin can be used from 6 months onwards, and may be given every 6 hours if needed. Prolonged fevers, high fevers, fevers in babies, or the presence of worrisome symptoms means a doctor's evaluation is needed.
