I know. But I subscribe to the theory that the fever in your body is your immune system fighting off the bug. (well, it's not a theory so much as a fact). So that bringing down the fever all the time is detrimental (of course, this does not apply when your fever is too high - also, it's almost impossible not to take something sometime when you are sick).
