A sponge bath is good for reducing the body temperature. A cloth dipped in egg whites or onion juice placed on the feet also helps a lot in reducing the temperature. More info at http://ailments.in/fever.html

Normaly a fever should get rid of itself in two days or you have problems and you need to be seen at the hospital. But if you can muster up the energy, Go to the store and buy some tylenol cold and flu and lots of OJ. Then most importantly..GET REST!!! Being in health care I hate to see anyone get sick, so I sincerely hope you feel better soon.

clean it occasionally with hydrogen peroxide a couple of times per day and use campho phoneique. this worked faster for me than anything else but takes about 3 or 4 days. none of the expensive stuff i've tried has worked any better.

Alternate Ibuprofen and Tylenol every 2 hrs. Lots of liquids, and a nice cool bath or shower.
