Question: What is the quickest way to bring down a fever.?
Answers:
Don't get in a cold bath ever with a fever, use a tepid bath or shower. It's below your body temperature but a cold bath or shower is a shock to the body, especially when you have a fever.
also, Motrin (Advil, ibuprofen) or Tylenol will bring a fever down some. I find Motrin helps me more so than Tylenol. I stay away from tylenol as I know someone that died from taking a little too much for a migraine then had two glasses of wine with her dinner. Her organs shut down over the next week. also, NEVER take tylenol with alcohol and better to take a maximum of one to two grams a day of it. (Each extra strength acetominaphin is 500 mg, taking two is 1 gram.) Stay at a lower dose than higher.
Rest and drinking fluids, especially water and 100 percent juice can help along with the rest.

lay in a tub of cold water. Old wives tales say that a high fever will fry your brain....what it does is weaken your immune system so, infections set in easily and twice as fast. Keep the fever down and go see a doctor. Being born in a family of 11 kids and poor my Mom broke many a fever with seven up, asprin and prayer.Health Question & Answer
The best way is Ibuprofen and if that doesn't work after a couple hours use some tylenol. Drink a lot of fluids too.
