On the box of Tylenol cold and flu, it says that it’s meant to relieve symptoms like fever, coughing, and congestion. In biology class last year, i got the message that symptoms are there for a reason, and relieving them will do you no good. For example, your body gets a fever so the immune system can speed up to fight the infection faster. If you take any medicine that might relieve a fever, you’re slowing down your immune system. I’m not saying I’m completely correct, this is just what i was led to believe.

Experts, is it bad to take symptom relief medicine?
Thanks!!

I am doing a big project for my biology class, and I need to know about how often a doctor prescribes antibiotics.
