Abstract

The current evidence does not support routine antipyretic administration to treat fever in acute respiratory infections and COVID-19. Many protocols and professionals advise patients to self-medicate for Covid-19 using antipyretics (e.g. paracetamol and ibuprofen). The rapid and widespread purchase of antipyretic medication over-the-counter has led to temporary shortages.
