Adults with rapid fever reduction can choose appropriate methods based on body temperature. If body temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods such as wet compresses, fever-reducing patches, or warm water baths may be used. If body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic medications such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules can be taken under medical guidance. Additionally, it's important to drink plenty of water to maintain adequate hydration.
