Fever can be reduced by drugs representing three different classes. Many of them are available without a prescription. The three types of antipyretics are salicylates, including aspirin; acetaminophen, sometimes called non-aspirin pain relievers; and nonsteroidal anti\u00ac inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and ketoprofen. Aspirin should not be taken by children to reduce fever because of its association with Reye syndrome, a rare disorder that can cause brain and liver damage. In children, the most commonly used antipyretic drugs are acetaminophen and ibuprofen.Medications utilized to alleviate fever are known as antipyretic drugs. Common examples of antipyretics include paracetamol, aspirin, and various non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs."}
