Antipyretic
An antipyretic is a type of medication used to reduce fever. It works by acting on the body's temperature regulation center in the brain, helping to lower elevated body temperature caused by infections or other illnesses. Common antipyretics include acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
These medications are often used to provide relief from discomfort associated with fever, such as headaches and body aches. While antipyretics can help manage symptoms, they do not treat the underlying cause of the fever, which may require additional medical attention or treatment.
