Should i lower a two week fever, spiking at 39.2oc with pain-medicine or put up with it for faster healing?

Treat: Treat your symptoms of fever and/or pain, not treating would not expedite healing.

Need to examine: A fever lasting longer than two weeks needs to be evaluated by a doctor. Using pain-medicine, while useful, may mask the underlying issue. Wish you good health!
