Nice doesnt suppress the main cause of fever, its mainly for temporary control so theer are no side effects or damage due to high fever. currently many doctors dont use nimesulide. read here Why is Nimesulide banned in many countries? www.doctorndtv.com/faq/detailfaq.asp?id=1973
when a infection tapers.. fever initially if it were continuous.. may become intermittent.. and then disappear in another 2 days.
