“I need something for a fever” is something you rarely hear in the pharmacy. Because with a high fever you just can’t make it out the door. Not even to buy fever-reducing drugs. I suspect that people always take what is available, what they once bought for a headache, or because they had “knees”. No matter whether ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, in aspirin), diclofenac or naproxen, all so-called NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs help against pain and reduce elevated body temperature. You can’t get one without the other, and on top of that, these remedies also inhibit inflammation.
