Is it safe to take ibuprofen at 38℃?

Common formulations of ibuprofen include tablets and capsules. Generally, whether ibuprofen can be taken at a body temperature of 38°C needs to be determined based on the patient's specific physical condition and symptom presentation. If discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the patient has no underlying diseases and only experiences mild symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness, with a generally good mental state, physical cooling methods can be initially used to alleviate symptoms, and taking ibuprofen can be temporarily avoided. Physical cooling includes wiping the forehead, armpits, groin, and other areas with warm water to increase heat dissipation. Additionally, drinking more warm water can promote metabolism and help monitor temperature changes.

If the patient has underlying conditions such as hyperthyroidism or cardiovascular disease, or if a temperature of 38°C is accompanied by significant discomfort such as headache and muscle pain that affects normal rest and daily activities, ibuprofen may be taken under a doctor's guidance. When taking ibuprofen, strictly follow the dosage recommended in the instructions to avoid adverse reactions caused by improper dosage.

During the use of ibuprofen, closely monitor the body's response. If symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or rash occur, discontinue the medication immediately and seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, other antipyretic and analgesic medications should not be taken simultaneously during this period to prevent overlapping drug components from causing harm to the body.
