How long does it take motrin to break a fever?

Question

My younger brother has a fever and Mom gave him Motrin. He's still feeling quite warm, so we're wondering how quickly Motrin usually starts to bring a fever down and make someone feel better?

Anil Shastri · Accepted Answer

Motrin, which is basically ibuprofen, usually starts working within an hour to gently soothe the fever. Praying for your quick recovery. Stay positive, rest well, and take good care of yourself.

I was just reading about this online because my nephew had a high fever. Most medical sites say Motrin takes about 30 to 60 minutes to start bringing the temperature down. It seems to last longer than paracetamol, around 6 to 8 hours.

It takes about an hour to show effect. Please make sure you never take Motrin on an empty stomach, as it can cause bad acidity. Have a glass of warm milk or some light khichdi before taking the tablet.

It takes roughly 45 minutes to start working. Don't expect the fever to vanish instantly; it gradually lowers the body temperature. If the fever stays high even after 2 hours, call your doctor instead of popping another pill.

Usually, it takes about 45 to 60 minutes to break a fever. My wife always suggests drinking warm pepper rasam to sweat out the fever, but we always follow the doctor's prescription for medicines like Motrin.

It takes around one hour to work. Keep a cool, damp cloth on the forehead to comfort the patient while the medicine starts working. Hope they feel better soon.
