Fever at 102.5, trying to break it with advil (ibuprofen) and fluids. any other suggestions? i need to sleep!

Tylenol (acetaminophen): You might try alternating tylenol (acetaminophen) with the advil. If it persists, a lukewarm bath may help. If the fever continues, you should see a doctor to determine the source.
