Sometimes yes, but only for low fevers. You can’t let it get too high. Then you should take medicine or see a doctor.
If the fever is high enough, the condition could be extremely hazardous. Brain damage and even death can occur as a result.
Assuemdly, seeing as how a fever is the sign that the immune system is fighting an invader, but if the medicine only lowers your temperature (not sure how its doing that but ok :/) then i’m not sure of any negative effects that would cause. but i’m not a doctor…
