an analgesic substance is one that reduces pain, it may be applied topically (anesthetic properties), taken orally or even administered via injecton. Some analgesic substances do have antipyretic(fever reducer) effects, and can even be considered anti-infective in a sense because it makes the body less conducive to the environment that bacteria require to thrive.

AN-ALGES- IC- means against pain. Non steroid analgesics also reduce fever. Disinfection and anesthesia are not the functions of any analgesics.

Technically specific. The Tylenol in it reduces fever and facilitates with discomfort. The Hydrocodone (the narcotic) facilitates with discomfort significantly better than Tylenol and would not help decrease fever. yet Vicodin and different Hydrocodone drugs are very nearly continually to handle discomfort or, infrequently, to handle diarrhea. Tylenol is likewise commonly used for fever or basic discomfort. Vicodin isn't frequently terrific for a individual with basically a fever.

they are basically pain relievers but most of them sold in the market are placebos or false drugs. Placebos are given to patients who are assured of it's function and when the patient believes the physicians and consumes it, it really works! It is due to the secretion of Endorphins (pleasure hormones) from the brain.
