, fever is beneficial. You feel like crap but the body is fighting the virus.
Indeed.
One of the reasons why viruses that escape from bats are so hard to control is because bats can regulate their own body temperatures and they routinely generate very high temperatures/a/k/a fevers just to kill off the bad stuff before they can get started. So any virus that has outsmarted that system is one smart sucker and difficult to manage.
Not to beat this tylenol thing to death but it is important for people to remember than you can avoid liver damage by taking it within the approved and tested safety levels, particularly for relatively short periods of 2-3 weeks will be enough for much of the corona duration. The impact of acetominophen/sp on the liver is very easily measured by whether or not it whacks your liver enzymes - and there is no significant impact in the approved dosage range for short periods. Where people get into a problem is when they have a fever that will not come down and they start piling in lots and lots of tylenol. Dosage and timing are important. 4000 mgs spread out across the day is a safe limit. But 4000 mgs in just one shot because you want to bring that fever down, uh no. That is beyond what the liver can process in one shot.
