Is ibuprofen good for fever?

When my son had high fever, the doctors at Apollo told us that paracetamol is the standard first choice. Ibuprofen is only used under specific medical advice if the fever is stubborn, so please ask your doctor clearly.

Yes, it can reduce fever, but in my experience, normal paracetamol is much gentler on the body. For mild fever, I always suggest drinking warm kadha and resting under a light blanket instead of taking strong pain relievers.

From what I've researched, ibuprofen reduces the chemicals that cause fever and inflammation. It seems good for when you have a fever accompanied by bad body aches, though paracetamol remains the most common go-to.

It does work for fever, but since I have high blood pressure, my doctor told me to avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen as they can affect BP. I always stick to normal paracetamol and keep monitoring my pressure.

I panicked so much when my regular medicine didn't break my fever and the doc prescribed an ibuprofen combination. It worked really fast and brought the fever down, which was such a relief.
