Does motrin work for fever?
I've been feeling a bit feverish since yesterday evening, but it's not very high. I want to avoid taking too many different medicines. Does Motrin generally work well to fight off a fever?

It works beautifully to bring down a fever. Along with the medicine, I always suggest doing light sponge baths with lukewarm water, which really helps soothe the body. It's a very practical way to make the patient feel comfortable while the medicine does its work.

Yes, it is very effective for fever, so you can take it without worry. Just make sure you aren't skipping meals, and don't take it on an empty stomach. If the temperature doesn't settle down in a couple of days, let me know and we can plan a doctor visit.
