Do Painkillers reduce fever?

1. Do Painkillers reduce fever? It is generally a myth that a pain killer can reduce fever. OTC medicines like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin have antipyretic i.e. (fever-reducing) qualities that work along with the pain receptor blocker. The brain has a hypothalamus which has the thermostatic mechanism which initially controls the body temperature. When someone is suffering from a fever a protein i.e. pyrogen is generated in the body. So, in the hypothalamus, a synthesis of a compound is increased that is prostaglandin raise the body temperature, and paracetamol and NSAIDs reduce the temperature of the body by inducing the production of the prostaglandins by this the setpoint of the body temperature will automatically lower down through cutaneous vasodilation and sweating and that will help to regenerate the hypothalamic thermostat. For this, you just need to know how the inflammation of chemical mediators takes place. In simple language whenever there is any insult within the human body, there is a bodily response to it called inflammation. During the inflammation, these chemical mediators (especially prostaglandins and interlukins ) are released which sets the body temperature to the higher side. (It’s the thermostat of the body when the set temperature is higher body tends to reach that temperature.) These mediators not only raise the temperature but also cause pain. How does the painkiller work? These drugs often block the process of these mediators formation via the different levels of blockage. Hence these drugs not only relieve pain but also reduce the temperature to the normal body set temperature. Viral fever or any fever that is below 106 degrees (f h) needs no cure as the fever is the body’s own making to fight the viral infection. Paracetamol and other antipyretic pain killers ‘cure’ viral fever by putting a spanner in the body’s fever-making activity. Tramadol 100mg Online, This will reduce the fever but will actually damage the body and thus by helping the infection. For the person who is suffering from a fever above 106 degrees, these tablets are simply worthless. Most of the time there is/are no medicines to cure any viral infections, it’s the body’s immunity that kills them slowly, but the medicines you are searching to control the viral symptoms like fever and pain and make one feel better by slowing down the processes that increase fever and pain.

2. Paracetamol only tries to lower the body temperature and that too temporarily. If there is no such kind of high body temperature then this one is not bothered. All viral fevers are self-limiting but lately, a large % is reaching complications. Chikungunya, Dengue, h1n1 are a few viral fevers but these viral should be treated seriously Good hydration (2.5 liters of fluids in a day – for a healthy adult), fruits, milk, soups, etc are a must. And consulting a doctor cannot be stressed more as one may be heading towards a serious complication and may sit in the comfort of having a normal fever (with paracetamol).
