does anyone know if it is a bad idea to take ibuprofin before a long swim in cold water? if it lowers a fever, does it generally lower your body temperature when it's not feverish?

It's an anti-inflammatory, which means it would calm down inflammation causing a fever. I don't think it would lower your body temperature if you didn't have a fever. People take it for sore muscles and don't experience any chill.
