Facts About Fever: Often people start taking paracetamol and many other medicines when they have fever. People think that fever is a disease and it is necessary to take medicine to get rid of it. According to health experts, the main reason for fever is infection inside the body. If you take medicine immediately when you have fever, then you should know important things related to it. A famous liver doctor told in an interview that when and how much medicine should be taken when fever occurs. He also told how much there is a need to worry about fever and how one can get relief from it.
In an interview given to a YouTube channel, Dr. Shivkumar Sarin, Director of ILBS Hospital, New Delhi and famous liver specialist, said that when there is any kind of infection or injury in the body, fever occurs in response to it. Fever is not bad. Having fever does not mean that you are very upset or sick. Medicine should be taken only if the fever is 102 degrees or more. If it is less than this, a cold bandage should be kept on the head. This can gradually reduce the temperature. If the fever is less than 102, then there is no need to worry too much. When fever occurs, the body cures it itself.
According to Dr. Sharin, people should not take antibiotics when they have fever. Nowadays people start taking antibiotics even for small problems, which can harm their health. Children should especially not be given too many antibiotics unless they are highly recommended. Giving too many antibiotics can cause fatty liver problems in the future. In such a situation, one should try to keep their children away from medicines. Excessive medicines can be harmful for everyone. If the fever is not too high, it can get cured on its own. If you have persistent fever, you should consult a doctor and get yourself examined so that the reason can be found out.
