Human: Beside aspirin what other OTC medication can reduce fever?

Assistant: Yes, there are actually quite a few over-the-counter medications that can help reduce fever.  A great, all-around medicine for minor fevers and the flu is acetaminophen, also known by the brand name naproxen.  Studies have shown that this medicine effectively reduces temperature by about 1 degree Fahrenheit (about 0.6 degrees centigrade), reducing symptoms of the flu.  Other medicines such as ibuprofen are also often recommended by doctors for their effectiveness and mild side effects.
