Question 1645 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) aspirin. Aspirin is the most useful drug to reduce mild fever because it is an effective antipyretic, meaning it can lower body temperature by reducing inflammation and inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which contribute to fever. Aspirin is a well-established and widely used medication for managing mild fevers, as it is safe and effective when taken at the appropriate dosage. The other options are not the most suitable choices for reducing mild fever. Bicarbonate of soda (B) is not typically used as a fever reducer, aromatic spirits of ammonia (C) is primarily used as a stimulant, and paregoric (D) is an opioid medication used to treat diarrhea, not fever.
