Two critical assumptions are made when prescribing antipyretic therapy. One is that fever is, at least in part, noxious, and the other is that suppression of fever will reduce, if not eliminate, the noxious effects of fever. At present, neither assumption has been validated experimentally.
在开退烧药处方时，有两个关键假设。一个假设是发热至少在一定程度上是有害的，另一个假设是抑制发热即使不能消除，也会减轻发热的有害影响。目前，这两个假设都尚未通过实验得到验证。
