解热药

Definition from Baidu:
解热药:具有解热作用,效果可靠而迅速。其作用主要是增强散热过程,治疗量能降低发热体温,对正常体温几乎无影响。
Example sentences:
一般说来,如果孩子的肛温超过39℃时,便应及时采用药物进行降温,世界卫生组织推荐首选扑热息痛作为解热药,因为这种药物不仅效果好,而且退热作用缓和而持久,一次服用后,3—4小时退热作用便可达到高峰,体温平均下降2℃以上,作用可持续6小时左右。 (people.com.cn)
新生儿发热有多种原因,但均不宜用解热药。国外围产新生儿医学专著中所列新生儿用药,已无解热药的介绍,国内也已有新生儿解热药中毒的报道,但未引起足够的注意。 (cnki.net)
