Let's take a look
**Commonly used antipyretics are ibuprofen and acetaminophen, and the following should be noted when taking it on your own
1.When the body temperature exceeds 385, antipyretics may be considered. Combined with physical cooling measures (warm water or alcohol bath, use of antipyretic patches, etc.), the results are better.
2.Acetaminophen is generally taken every 4 to 6 hours, one tablet each time, and no more than 4 times in 24 hours. Ibuprofen extended-release capsules are taken once in the morning and once in the evening. Do not alternate or combine acetaminophen with ibuprofen, and do not take antipyretics and cold medicines that contain antipyretic ingredients at the same time.
3.After taking acetaminophen for 4 hours, the body temperature is still 385 or more, you can consider taking it again; If the body temperature drops to 385 or less, can no longer be taken.
4.The following four groups of people should use ibuprofen with caution: Those with a history of severe coronary heart disease and heart failure; Those with a history of severe peptic ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding; Those who need to take a combination of antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulant drugs due to chronic diseases**; Patients with severe renal insufficiency.

If the fever persists or the symptoms recur, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to find out the cause of the fever and carry out **treatment**.
