What fever-reducing medicines can children and staff take when sick?
Fever-reducing medicines are medicines that contain acetaminophen (such as Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (such as Motrin®). These medicines can be given to people who are sick with flu to help bring their fever down and relieve their pain. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) should not be given to anyone younger than 18 years of age who has the flu; this can cause a rare but serious illness called Reye’s syndrome.
