Feeling lousy with a fever?
The best medicine to reduce fever is Tylenol or an Ibuprofen product. Aspirin is not recommended by the healthcare experts. The CDC not only states that aspirin should be avoided, but lists 5 Brand Name medications that can be used instead of aspirin (Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, and Aleve). The URL for this CDC document is: http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/guidance_homecare.htm.
