A member asked:

What can bring a fever down other than iburophen and paracetamol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Steroids: The most important question is why you have fever. Unless you have allergy to these two medications, it bothers me that you need another medication to bring the fever down on top of these 2 strong medications. If that is the case a physician needs to examine you.
