Can I take any medication to lower my fever if my doctor advised me to only monitor my temperature and not take any medicine?

Asked by Female, 28 · 3 days ago

While medications like paracetamol or ibuprofen can lower a fever, your doctor may want to monitor your temperature to track how your body is naturally fighting the infection, or to see if your symptoms change. Suppressing a mild fever isn't always necessary, as a fever is actually a sign your immune system is working. Please stay well-hydrated, rest, and keep cool with a damp cloth. If your temperature rises significantly, you feel worse, or you develop new symptoms, please contact your doctor before taking any medication.
