Feverishness

Helping to ease the symptoms

When you’re feeling ill, your body temperature rises to help kill germs and infection. Ibuprofen – the active ingredient in Nurofen – helps tackle the symptoms of fever (including headaches, shivering and a high temperature). You’ll find two products below that can help manage a fever – as well as more details on fevers and alternative therapies.

Nurofen Cold and Flu

As well as ibuprofen to ease your headache, Nurofen Cold and Flu also contains pseudoephedrine - a non-sedating decongestant which helps relieve congestion.
Always read the label.

Nurofen Liquid Capsules

These easy-to-take liquid-filled capsules can get to work twice as fast as normal ibuprofen tablets – leaving you free to get on with your day.

What you need to know

A fever nearly always catches you unawares, but you can take measures to avoid them. We tell you the symptoms and how to ease them, how to lower temperature, and danger signs to look out for.

Alternative Pain Relief

As well as taking a traditional painkiller, you could also try complementary therapy. Please talk to your doctor first.
