<s>[INST] How is fever treated? [/INST]  Fever is a symptom and not a disease by itself. Thus, the most important approach in the treatment of fever is to identify the underlying cause and treat it. In some cases like some viral infections, the fever may be self-limiting, that is, the fever will disappear once the infection is cleared.

Fever may be brought down using drugs belonging to the group antipyretics. Among these, acetaminophen (or paracetamol as it is referred to in some countries) is a safe and effective treatment for fever. Aspirin may be used in adults but should be avoided in children. Other drugs like ibuprofen and diclofenac can also be used instead of acetaminophen. Source: MED INDIA. Link: https://www.medindia.net/symptoms/fever-faqs.htm. Field: Infectious Disease.
