take tylenol if you do not have liver disease and get in the shower, it will drop your temperature quick, if you don't get better in a few hours, call the er, good luck

Take a cold bath and if you can tolerate ice in the water -if your fever does not go down within 15 minutes then you need to call 911---a fever is your body telling you something wrong and a 104 is dangerously high-it doesn't take much deprivation of oxygen to cause irreversible brain damage so I wouldn't play around but either go or have someone or call 911 to a hospital.

You should take a fever reducer medicine like aspirin, Tylenol or Advil and follow the dosage recommended on the bottle. You should also sponge off with lukewarm water or take a cool shower or bath to reduce your fever. Be sure to drink plenty of liquids because a fever will cause you to dehydrate quickly. This will only help with symptoms. You may need to see a doctor or go to the hospital to find out what is causing the fever - and may require antibiotics and/or IVs if you are too dehydrated.

104 is very high and I wouldn't wait 5 hours. There has to be a reason why it's that high, so you might be better off going to the emergency room.
You could try taking Tylenol Fever and putting a cool cloth on your forhead, but that might just mask the problem. Your temp might climb back up while you're sleeping and you might not even know it.

That is a pretty high fever. It's pretty unlikely that you will be well again in 5 hours. I would call your doctors office (most have 24 hr. telephone services you can call.) and see what they advice you to do. If it gets any hire, I would get medical attention..

Keep drinking ice cold water and putting cold wash rags on your face. While you are at it go to the E.R. and have them help you ASAP!
