What medicine is best for a fever?

Generic paracetamol is very cheap and works well for basic fever. However, instead of buying expensive random medicines, it's better to consult a local clinic doctor first. If the fever stays for 3 days, they might ask for a CBC or dengue test, so keep some budget aside for basic blood tests just in case.

I always visit my hospital whenever I get a fever above 100. My physician explicitly told me not to take random antibiotics or pain relief combinations without a prescription. Please get a proper consult so they can check your lungs and throat.

Beta, in our days, a fever just meant putting cold damp strips of cloth on the forehead and resting. Paracetamol is fine for temporary relief, but don't rush or panic. Give your body a couple of days to fight it off, and keep eating light khichdi.

My doctor told me that fever is just our immune system's way of fighting an infection. He prescribed paracetamol 650 mg only to be taken if my temperature crossed 100 degrees, maximum thrice a day. If you have other symptoms like a severe cough or chills, you must seek a professional diagnosis.
