A fever occurs when the body’s temperature rises above 100 ^oF (37.8 ^oC). Usually a fever is a symptom of another illness like flu or a cold. It is important to not over treat a fever and to let it run its course, over time a fever will break.

The best way to treat a fever is to make the patient as comfortable as possible and sometimes to apply a cold towel to the body. You can also look at remedies that will boost the immune system such as nutritional therapies as well as herbal and homeopathic remedies.
