How long does it take for Advil to bring down a fever?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. How long should I take Motrin to reduce fever?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, oral dosage should be considered. Generally, over-the-counter fever-reducing medications should not be taken for more than 3 days. For fever caused by colds, in addition to using fever-reducing medications, you also need to take cold medications. You can choose traditional Chinese medicine such as Shuanghuanglian Chaihuang Pian or Antiviral Oral Liquid based on your condition to treat it. When you have a cold, drink more boiled water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. This can shorten the duration of the cold and promote recovery.
