To reduce fever in adults, the following measures are recommended:

• Take fever-reducing medications such as paracetamol (acetaminophen), ibuprofen, or aspirin in appropriate doses to help lower body temperature and relieve discomfort

• Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, to prevent dehydration caused by fever-related fluid loss

• Get plenty of rest to allow the body to recover and fight the underlying infection causing the fever

• Dress in light clothing and keep the environment cool to help your body dissipate heat more effectively

• Use physical cooling methods such as sponging exposed skin with tepid water or applying a cool, damp washcloth to the forehead and neck; avoid cold baths or showers as they can cause shivering and increase body heat

• Eat light, easy-to-digest foods to support your energy levels without taxing your digestive system

Avoid alcohol, tea, and coffee as they can contribute to dehydration

. If the fever is high (above 102°F or 38.9°C), persistent, or accompanied by severe symptoms such as severe headache, stiff neck, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention promptly

. These steps can help manage fever symptoms effectively at home while your body fights the infection.
