  2. 2
    Dress in comfy clothes. This is no time to be a fashion diva. Drag out your rattiest, most comfortable nightgown or pajamas and robe. Put on some socks.
  3. 3
    Put an ice pack or damp rag on your forehead. This will cool your body down temporarily and reduce the fever faster. You could also soak a washcloth in a bowl of cool water, then place it on your forehead. This will help your body to lower it's temperature, thus reducing the fever faster.
  4. 4
    Get someone to massage your head, neck and back. If you can get them to do your arms, legs, hands and fingers, it will feel really good and help reduce some of the aches related to the fever. If you don't have someone to rub you, then just use an electric massager.
  5. 5
    Apply a damp cloth to legs, feet and neck. Only apply until the cloth is warm because excess application only makes the situation worse by cause shivering which increases core body temperature.
  6. 6
    Take a lukewarm shower. Taking a hot shower would increase your body temperature, and a cold shower may induce shivering which would also raise your body temperature as it generates heat.
  7. 7
    Stay in an air conditioned room. You want to have a constant cold room temperature because this also helps lower your body temperature.
  8. 8
    Let the fever run its course. As long as the fever does not exceed 102 degrees, it actually helps your body to fight infections and eliminate toxins.
