Fever is always so annoying! For me, when I take Motrin, I usually start feeling a bit better and the fever begins to drop within 30 to 45 minutes. Just remember to drink plenty of fluids too, that helps a lot!

Generally, Motrin, which contains ibuprofen, should start reducing fever within 30 to 60 minutes. The full effect may be noticed after about 1 to 2 hours. However, it's always best to follow the dosage and instructions given by a healthcare professional, especially if it's a child.

Forget all the internet mumbo jumbo. Motrin is a standard medicine. It typically works within an hour. But seriously, don't take medical advice from strangers online. If you have a fever, consult a doctor or pharmacist for proper guidance on dosage and duration.
