Answered by Pharmacist Hoang Tra Linh - Vinmec Da Nang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “What medicine should people who are allergic to Paracetamol take when they have a fever? ", the pharmacist would like to answer as follows:
Paracetamol is the most popular antipyretic drug today. Besides Paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen may also be prescribed to reduce fever in certain cases.
With a history of Paracetamol allergy, non-drug measures are still preferred such as wiping cool, drinking plenty of water or wearing breathable clothing. At the same time, you need to provide more information about allergic manifestations, time of recording and post-allergy management for specific advice on other antipyretic drugs (including drug selection, dosage).
If you still have questions about Paracetamol allergy, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
