When should you lower your temperature if you have a fever?

 You should lower your temperature if you have a fever if:

• Your fever is 103°F (39.4°C) or higher.
• You have a fever and other symptoms that are concerning to you, such as a stiff neck, severe headache, or rash.
• You are taking medications that can interact with fever reducers, such as aspirin or blood thinners.

In general, it is not necessary to lower a fever that is below 103°F (39.4°C). In fact, a fever can actually help your body fight off infection. However, if you are uncomfortable or your fever is causing other problems, you can take steps to lower it.

Here are some ways to lower your temperature:

• Take a cool bath or shower.
• Drink plenty of fluids.
• Dress in lightweight clothing.
• Use a fan or air conditioner to keep your room cool.
• Take over-the-counter fever reducers, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil).

If you have a fever and you are concerned, talk to your doctor. They can help you determine if your fever is a sign of a serious illness and recommend treatment options.

Here are some additional tips for managing a fever:

• Get plenty of rest.
• Avoid strenuous activity.
• Eat light, bland foods.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
• Monitor your temperature regularly.
• If your fever does not improve or gets worse, contact your doctor.
