Question
I am 36 years old and have been feeling unwell recently. I feel dizzy during the day and it affects my work. At night, I can’t sleep. The medicine I took doesn’t seem to work. Can I use ibuprofen for a low fever?
Answer
Generally, adults with a low fever do not need to take antipyretics; just drink plenty of water. If the fever is caused by inflammation, medication is required. For a low fever, it is preferable to take acetaminophen tablets, preferably in a single formulation. Combination formulas containing acetaminophen are also acceptable, such as Vitamin C Silver Balsam etc.
