What is the best & quickest way to treat an adult fever? i randomly woke up to one. 102!

Nothing, ASA or APAP: Bear in mind that fever helps fight off bacterial or viral infections. High temperatures interfere with DNA replication. The fastest way to get rid of a viral infection is to not treat the fever, and drink lots of water to flush viruses out of the body and preserve hydration. Fever is not harmful to the human body until you hit 107--which marathoners can do if they don't cool down after the run.
