My 6 month old had a fever last night ( along with an ear infection) and according to our public health line, both ibuprofen or acetominaphen will bring down a fever. Either will reduce the fever by up to 2 degrees Centigrade but will not completely eliminate a fever. According to the nurse on the line, ibuprofen usually works a little better and for a little longer
Since the fever may be a necessary part of your body fighting infection, you treat the fever merely for the person's comfort unless the fever gets very high. IIRC they said 40.5 was the trigger before they started to get concerned.
We tried tylenol on our little guy and when he stayed at 39+ , we gave him the ibuprofen which seems to have reduced the fever and let him sleep.
