Why I Don’t Use OTCs at the First Sign of a Fever
This is a conversation I wish more parents felt safe having.
I don’t reach for over-the-counter fever reducers at the first sign of a fever—not because I’m anti-medicine, but because I’ve learned what happens when a fever is immediately suppressed.
It’s been over 8 years since I’ve had to rely on OTCs—not because I forced myself to avoid them, but because supporting the body first made them unnecessary.
I wrote more deeply about this perspective on Medium, which I’ll link below for those who want the full context. Inside this community, we’ll unpack why this works, what to observe instead of panic, and how to respond calmly and intentionally when a fever shows up.
