Fever is good paracetamol is bad

Doctors often prescribe paracetamol when their patients have fever. I often fall below the body temperature of 38.0 degrees Celsius. Honestly, when we are sick, you better have a fever. Sounds like a myth to you? Am I wrong? Are you surprised by what I said?

Pathogens (bacteria, virus) and a normal body temperature of 37.0 degrees Celsius in general optimized.
Similarly, if you are a chicken hatching, the temperature is 37.0 degrees Celsius. If you grow an agar plate with the bacteria E. coli, the temperature is 37.0 degrees Celsius.  

After looking at the numbers, I concluded that life is more suited to mammals 37.0 degrees Celsius. You can also indirectly imply that viruses and bacteria multiply rapidly at 37 degrees Celsius. The use of paracetamol lowers body temperature to 37 degrees Celsius, which is the growth of bacteria and influenza virus.

If you have a fever, our body temperature rises. The brain acts like a thermostat to regulate temperature, depending on the seriousness of our condition. This review of body temperature due to the production of smoke to destroy pathogens. High fever slow down the enzymes that kills bacteria. Off when our body temperature rises. Temperature rated speed the body's defense, strengthen the interaction between white blood cells with pathogens.

Take medication for fever, actually gives your body a chance to get slower. When paracetamol is broken down into its metabolites in the liver, is preparing excreted by the body, this metabolite is toxic to cells. You are only required to eat when acetaminophen fever over 38 degrees Celsius. This is due to the temperature at 39 degrees Celsius can cause further brain damage due to the inability of the enzyme in the brain to work.

Doctors often recommend us to 2 tablets (1000 mg), paracetamol only eat once every six hours. In my own research and study only eating 1000 mg of acetaminophen if the fever is high. If you have a weakness for the average degree of fever, I recommend a tablet (500 mg) of acetaminophen every four hours to consume. 

First, the half-life of drugs and the secretary of more effective drugs. As you can see that the frequency of consumption of the same amount of medicine every six hours (if you have two pills, eats 6 hours), compared to 8 hours (if you eat 2 tablets 4 hours). 

Second, the stress of his liver to less toxic metabolite of acetaminophen separation.

If you do not trust me, that fever is beneficial or harmful, go directly to a Google search.
For your information, all temperatures shown above are accurate only if the temperature under the tongue to measure.
