not so fast.
I lack any of my own mini-me's but I'm a nurse (and more importantly an auntie) so this article on over-treating fevers sparked my attention....
a fever is our bodies way of fighting an infection; a normal healthy response. fever reducing medicines are for comfort. not for a cure and do not kill any unwanted bugs or have any effect on cold symptoms.
our bodies are truly miraculous without taking pills for every deviation from the norm. a fever is our bodies own sanitation system like a high temp dish washing cycle. well kinda.
