The best thing is to give him an anti-pyretic e.g. panadol, 2 tabs four hourly. Don't put extra blankets on him even though he probably says he's feeling cold or has the shakes. So much for the fever, now the truely important thing is whats causing the fever in the first place. Where is the site of infection and with a fever of this level he needs to be seen by a Doctor or Emergency Dept. blood cultures and other test need to be done to identify the source of infection. Cheers

DO NOT PUT HER IN A BATH OF COLD WATER. ITL MAKE HER MORE SICK. take a warm but not too hot bath and eat watermelon. seriously watermelon will really bring the temp down. but if she really that that hot, i wouldnt wait. i would take the advice of everybody else here and take her to the ER.

DO NOT GIVE ANTIBIOTICS without a docs say so. If the aspirin is not helping the temp then take her to urgent care or the ER as she is sick and needs to see a doc ASAP.

For high temperature, a cloth dipped in egg whites or onion juice may be placed on the feet to reduce the temperature. I found this information at http://ailments.in/fever.html
