Reply To: Reducing Fever

I am in med school and your are absolutley right to an extent. The body raises its tempature because it sows and kills the microbe that is harming you in the first place. However, at a certain point the fever reaction can get too strong, the extreme of which would be temps like 104-105 but even less than that is already strong. I don’t give my kids fever -reducers till they hit almost 101 or if they are very uncomfortable. but as long as long as you are feeling fine and temps are below that the best thing to do is leave the fever
