Does naproxen reduce fever?

My wife has a persistent fever and it's making her very uncomfortable. We have some Naproxen in the medicine cabinet. Is Naproxen a good option to reduce fever?

Yes, it can reduce fever, but please don't just pop pills without checking first. If your temperature is really high, rest up, put a damp cloth on your forehead, and let a doctor prescribe the right medicine. Take care of yourself.

It definitely helps bring the fever down! Just make sure you don't take it on an empty stomach, as it can be a bit harsh on the tummy. Keep sipping warm water and get plenty of rest to bounce back quickly!

My grandmother always suggests warm rasam and rest for a fever, but for medicine, we must trust the doctor. This tablet does reduce fever, but it is a strong one. Please consult your family physician before taking it.

It does, but if you have high blood pressure or heart concerns, you must be very careful with NSAIDs. I always double-check with my doctor before taking any such fever reducers. It is safer to stick to lifestyle monitoring and prescribed meds.

Haan, bukhaar toh kam ho jata hai isse. Lekin dawayi ke saath khana peena zaroori hai, khali pet mat khana. Agar do din mein bukhaar na utre, toh turant doctor ke paas jana chahiye.

My fever had me shivering all night and I barely got an hour of sleep. This medicine did help bring the temperature down so I could finally rest. Just don't forget to eat a toast or biscuit before taking it, trust me on this.
