How to Reduce a Fever
Having a fever is an unpleasant experience, but reducing it doesn’t have to be. Follow these steps to reduce your fever.
- Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, juices, and broths. This will help your body cool down and flush out any toxins.
- Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen, such as Advil® or Tylenol®. These medications can help reduce a fever in adults and children.
- Take a lukewarm bath or shower or use a cool compress on your forehead, neck, or armpits. This can help lower your body temperature.
- Wear light, breathable clothing. Heavy clothing or too much clothing can add heat to your body.
- Reduce your physical activity. Avoid any strenuous activity that could cause your body to overheat or make your fever worse.
- Get as much rest as possible. Sleep will also help reduce a fever.
