Is acetaminophen effective for the treatment of fevers?


Answer:
Yes, acetaminophen is effective for the treatment of fevers, aka it is an 'antipyretic'.

In a meta-analysis (a study where people group large numbers of studies together to make the statistics more powerful) published in the journal 'Archives of pediatrics %26 adolescent medicine' showed that in combined analysis of 17 others studies acetaminophen proved to be an effective anti-fever agent (though not as good as ibuprofen)
