Answer 1

There is an important part of your brain called the *hypothalamus,* which controls your body’s temperature. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol also affect the hypothalamus by making it to return your body’s temperature to normal.

Paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen are all effective fever reducers.
