Best to not lower!: Your body goes to a lot of trouble to create a fever to help fight infection- your white blood cells work better ; microbes don't survive at high temperatures. Thus, lowering fever sabotages your immune system ; prolongs infections. If you're absolutely miserable you can take Acetaminophen but it is better to tough it out! see http://on.Today.Com/1cz7o8p consider homeopathy: http://bit.Ly/1e95red.
