HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Acetaminophen is the best drug to control the fever but most important is to know the underlying cause of fever it could be due to viral infection it could be due to bacterial or parasite infection and that is all needs to be found our and for that better to get done the routine blood test hope this information helps.
