Answering the question "What medicine should I take for a fever?"

Depends on what the case of the fever.
  1. If the fever is caused by infections either viral or bacterial you can take paracetamol to lower it down. This is because certain chemical called inflammatory mediator (produced by body as a response to an infection) will increase the set core temperature (in the brain), thus body will think that the normal temperature as cold and body will increase the heat through certain mechanism that will make fever.
  2. If the fever is caused by other problems: for example thyroid problem (known as thyroid storm) and other problem that is not related with an increasing set core temperature in the brain, the treatment would be cooling blanket + treatment related to the underlying problem.
But you can just take paracetamol (or other branded name drugs which contains paracetamol or acetaminophen) 500 mg 3 times a day. Make sure you are not allergic to it and you don’t have any liver problem.

The stimulation comes from a condition that our body senses as threatening, such as running from a lion. This hormone is really important to support our body during this condition. I’ll give you a simple example (remember this is only one of adrenaline function). Let’s imagine, when you have to run from a lion, your leg muscles must do a really hard work. The leg muscles of course need oxygen to build enough energy. The oxygen is transported within blood and delivered to all body parts with the help of the heart as a pumping machine. With adrenaline, the heart will pump faster provided oxygen supply to leg muscles. As the result, you can run from a lion. Without adrenaline, the pumping of heart would be ineffective for providing oxygen in l...
