Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to get blood exams done to treat the cause of the fever and not only the fever. There might be infection leading to this. Also, cold sponging helps drop the body temperature.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Asiya Zaidi
