Question: My ibuprofen says it's a fever reducer, but I believe other medications like acetaminophen are also.
Seems to be somewhat inconclusive, interesting! I never knew there was such debate about this.
Second edit: please absolutely do not take this post as medical advice, I just thought this question was interesting since I've had a lot of time to think being sick in bed with flu
Answer:
There's mixed studies on this but the general consensus is yes. Barring an extremely high fever where it's causing damage to your body, lowering a fever will have either no positive effect on your body, or a negative effect. It's primarily to make you more comfortable. As the vast majority of fever-causing illnesses don't cause lasting damage, most people would prefer to say, feel sort of sick for a week instead of really sick for 4 days
