What is good to decrease a high temperature from a fever due to a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comfort: A fever is the body's response to infection and is perfectly normal. You may be more comfortable if you take an anti-pyretic (tylenol), especially if you are experiencing a high fever and chills. If things don't improve, or if they worsen, visit your doctor. Could be more than a cold (viral) and may require antibiotics.
