The answer is that more than one hundred and two fevers are usually caused by a virus, the most common form of which is a viral infection of the throat. There is no benefit to using antibiotics against the virus, and it usually resolves on its own in six to seven days. That's why doctors usually refuse to give antibiotics for viral infections.
The second reason is that in the event of a high fever, our immune system becomes more active and the infected cells secrete a special protein called interferon. These interferons, of which there are more than one type, alert other healthy cells that the virus has entered the body and thus these cells regulate their defenses, such as changes in their cell wall. This makes it difficult for viruses to enter them. Because these interferons are only made at high temperatures, doctors forbid prescribing medication in the event of a viral infection to allow our immune system to function from within. However, if the viral load is high, antiviral drugs and paracetamol-containing drugs can be taken to reduce the fever.
Avoid taking ibuprofen, ponstan, diclofenac sodium, etc. in case of fever due to viral infection.
