Depends on how high. I keep unhand a homeopathic kit, one remedy for fever is Belladonna 12c.
Wet sock treatment is a great way however a fever is the bodies way of fighting the bad guys so not all fevers need reducing. Check with your doctor to know if this will work for you.
In homeopathy we usually alternate Aconitum and Belladonna (potency 6c for both) every hour until the temperature goes down to normal.
A FEVER IS THE BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM TRYING TO MAKE THE VIRUS UNCOMFORTABLE. UNLESS THE FEVER IS VERY HIGH, IT SHOULD NOT BE SUPPRESSED. ANYTHING HIGHER THAN 102 AND IF THE PT IS UNCOMFORTABLE WOULD BE A REASON TO SUPPRESS THE FEVER.
