Patient's question:

I am a female, 25 years old. Last night when I came home, I measured my temperature and found that I had a slight fever. After taking fever-reducing medicine, I went to sleep. This morning, after waking up, I measured my temperature again and found that it was a bit low. Doctor, is it normal to have a low temperature after taking fever-reducing medicine?

Doctor's answer:

25-year-old female, experiencing fever again. After taking fever-reducing medication, her body temperature has dropped slightly again. Although this is not a normal situation, it is also possible to occur again. Sometimes, if the dosage of fever-reducing medication is too high, or if she sweats a lot during the fever-reducing process, her body temperature may drop again.
