A member asked:

Is it good to take tylenol (acetaminophen)? what is a low grade fever?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Good for nothing: Why are you thinking of using it. Most fevers are a sign of your body responding to the illness you are having....So there is no scientific reason to use Acetaminophen . You do not get better faster if you take Acetaminophen by by taking it you are taking an unneeded medicine.
