There is usually no fastest method to reduce fever in clinical practice. If body temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, drinking more warm water can promote metabolism and help eliminate heat and toxins from the body. Applying a cooling patch on the forehead can also achieve physical cooling. For temperatures exceeding 38.5°C, medication such as acetaminophen or loxoprofen may be used according to medical advice.
