Fever of 39 degrees, can you take other fever-reducing drugs with Indomethacin?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I always can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel my heart racing and feel quite uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm very worried about it affecting my health and work. Please ask, if I have a fever of 39 degrees, can I take Indomethacin and other fever-reducing medications?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common one being infection. Don't rush to take medication; it's essential to identify the cause of the fever before considering medication. Avoid using medication blindly.
Hello, your baby's fever may be due to issues like infection. Generally, fever-reducing medication is not recommended if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees. If it exceeds this value, you can use fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen suspension, Xiao Chaihu, or Meilin, combined with antibiotics like Amoxicillin or Cephalosporin for treatment.
Make sure to drink plenty of water, maintain warmth, and avoid irritant factors.
