The hypothalamus in the brain has a thermostatic mechanism which controls body temperature. During fever, a protein called pyrogen is generated. This increases the synthesis of a compound called prostaglandin in the hypothalamus, raising its temperature set point.
Paracetamol acts as an antipyretic and inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandin. Paracetamol reduces fever by promoting heat loss (through sweating and cutaneous vasodilation) and thus helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat.

Should physical punishments be given to school children?
There is a huge debate whether physical punishments should be given to school children or not and everyday we come across about this or that in the newspaper and medias that very often the students are punished and tortured by their teachers. There are a section of people who thinks that physical punishments should not be given to the scholl children and rather it should be dealth with by having a cool chat with the kids while there is another section of people who thinks that in some cases it becomes necessary. So this very poll is about the same and lets find out what the members of this site thinks about the same.
