“1) go home and take Tylenol...”
That very suggestion is likely making things worse by suppressing fever which is part of the body’s immune response to a virus.
Low grade temps are fine but anyone with sustained temps over 102 orally could use a little cooling as increased temps increase oxygen demand and for someone with Respiratory compromise, sustained temps over 102.5 would be potentially life threatening. I don’t care what they say about aspirin or other NSAIDs, they do help with sustained temps and can help break the immune overreaction cascades...they just have to be given at the recommended dosages, not taken like candy. One watches for bleeding. Tylenol is okay too.
