Suggest Treatment For Persistent High Fever
Hi, my son who is 18 started with a high temperature around 8pm (38,1C). I gave him Tylenol and it went down to 37,7C after an hour or so, then I gave him Ibuprofen half an hour ago, still 37,6. Is there anything else I can do to help bring the temperature down? Thank you.

Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
If you are failed with home treatment, I would like to suggest that please consult the doctor at the clinic because lowering down the temperature is not the only issue.
person must be having some cause and that cause can be malaria, dengue, pneumonia, meningitis or many others. it is necessary to find out such reasons. so it is wise to get all reports done.
Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
