I've had a mild fever since morning, nothing too high, but feeling a bit weak. My mom always gives me paracetamol, but I have some ibuprofen at home. Is it okay to take ibuprofen for a fever, or is paracetamol better?

Ibuprofen works for fever, but make sure you eat something substantial first. Taking it on an empty stomach will ruin your appetite for days, and you definitely don't want to miss out on good food!

Hey, don't stress too much! Ibuprofen is totally fine for fever, just don't take it on an empty stomach. Rest up, drink lots of water, and you'll be back on your feet soon.
