temperature control:Paracetamol or asprin?

[kira000]

Just wondered if anyone can tell me which is more effective for lowering a fever, Asprin or paracetamol?

Thanks

Aspirin has greater antipyretic (temperature lowering) properties than Paracetamol, but Paracetamol probably safer. especially with kids.

Hi sqad me dear. Ta for the reply.

Nope not for kids, its for me. I'll chuck back the asprin.
Am due to fly to singapore tomorrow, and have managed to pick up a lurgy. Am bricking myself that the temperature scanner at the airport in singapore will pick up my fever, and that they will quarantine me for swine flu!

So planning to take the drugs with me and knock back a few an hour before landing...

Wont be so lucky of they lock me up in the chalets they are using for quarantine!! And then charge me for it!

If i wasnt salivating at the thought of the champagne and seafood brunch while i'm there, i would nearly feel ill enough to cancel! Lol.

Shangri La... oooooh get you!! Posh boy!
