Answers:
It is a common misunderstanding that a fever is a bad thing. A fever serves a useful purpose - it is part of your body's way of fighting infection. As long as it doesn't go on and on for many days, it isn't dangerous. Just rest and let your body heal itself. (One thing you can use to bring down a fever is either Tylenol or Advil - do not use aspirin, though.) Make sure you take lots of clear liquids, either water or broth so that you do not become dehydrated. This will help flush your body. You can drink 7-up if you like, although too much sugar isn't good when you are ill. Eat only mild things like rice or oatmeal. There's nothing else you can do other than let your body heal itself. I hope you are well soon!
ok well a bath is one of the things that will bring a fever down, there are also medications that say 'reduces fever' on the box or bottle. Sucking on a popsicle will work as well it worked for me when i had a temperature of 106 and they took me to the hostpital and they just gave me a popsicle and waited to see if it would come down.
Ive been having lower back pain specialy on the left side?
I don't thing it matters which one you do. Neither will work. What does work though is to put on extra blankets when you go to bed. Enough blankets to make you sweat. By morning you should be feeling better and your fever should be gone. Replace your toothbrush and wash your sheets right away to avoid re-infection. And of course take a shower as soon as you get up.

QT: You've been watching to many cowboy shows. If your fever is really high and your sure of it there's an indication there's something wrong. 102 is high. You can try a cool bath but to be safe if you can't get to your doctor go to an ER as soon as you can. I'm saying this as you didn't say anything about pain, say in your lower right abdomen. You didn't say anything about roaring headaches or sore throat, etc, just a fever. This could be the on-set of the flu, a cold, some other problem. I would really feel better if you saw a doctor, the fever is there for some reason so you, won't break it.
Just one word of advice.don't bundle up in blankets if you are having chills from your fever, this will actually make your temp rise even higher.
Drink plenty of fluids (clear) and a tepid (lukewarm) bath.
Hope you feel better.
