In general, infectious syphilis refers to the primary and secondary stages because syphilitic chancres, mucous patches, and condylomata lata are highly infectious lesions. Dry rashes, by exception, are typically noninfectious.
It appears to reduce pain primarily in the central nervous system by more than one mechanism, possibly in part by inhibiting a form of COX known as COX-3, although this is the subject of much debate. It is, therefore, considered to be a weak analgesic and does not possess anti-inflammatory properties. What this means to you is that acetaminophen is great for headaches, fever and minor aches and pains, but wonât reduce inflammation due to, say, a muscle sprain.
If a fever is particularly high or persistent, you can give both Tylenol and Motrin, but be very careful that Tylenol is not dosed more than every 4 hours, or Motrin more than every 6 hours. It is helpful to keep a medication log.Of note, fever reducers generally reduce a fever by 2-3 degrees.f, you can give Tylenol every 4-6 hours or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) every 6-8 hours. Most fevers can be managed by giving only Motrin or only Tylenol. Both work equally well as fever reducers, but Motrin lasts a little longer.
