Methods for rapidly reducing fever in adults include physical cooling and medication. If an adult's body temperature is below 38.5°C, physical methods such as applying fever-reducing patches, wiping major arteries with lukewarm water, or taking a warm bath can be used to lower the temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretic medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be taken according to medical advice.
