What are some ways to bring down a fever?

Ways to reduce a fever include getting plenty of rest, drinking a lot of fluids and taking acetaminophen, according to Mayo Clinic. Infants and toddlers should receive immediate medical attention when they have a fever over 102 degrees Fahrenheit.

Other home remedies that can help bring down a fever include taking a lukewarm bath, placing cool, damp cloths on the forehead and trying the wet-sock treatment, explains Best Health. The wet-sock treatment consists of soaking a pair of socks in cool water, putting them on the feet and covering them with another pair of socks. Certain types of teas may be used to reduce fevers, including yarrow, elderflower and ginger.
