Our recommendation is to use Tylenol (acetaminophen) to reduce high fevers.
There is some controversy as to whether Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, naproxen, or Aleve could cause the symptoms of the virus to worsen. Thus, if Tylenol manages fever sufficiently, stick to using that. If you are unable to take Tylenol for other medical issues such as liver disease, NSAID use may be warranted - please call your primary care provider for further instructions as this will vary from person to person.
