@XenonRush off the top of my head, not exactly. It has to do with reducing the inflammatory response of the body to bring fever down by a degree or two. Basically attaching to receptors and being like, "hey can we just... not do the fever thing so much?"
If you have a fever of under 102 I would recommend [i]against[/i] treating. It can delay recovery by making it harder for the body to fight infection. Fever is good to a certain point.

@XenonRush then do that. Sip clear fluids until nausea is gone for a couple hours and after that start a bland diet.
