What is your famous home remedy to get relief from fever quickly?

My famous home remedy that i do used to help bring down fever within a short period is use of cold compress and this involves washing a clean cloth or i do use a towel and then dipping it into cool water before rinsing out any excess water to apply it on my forehead, neck or all my body.

As well, the cool compress also has an advantage of constricting the blood vessels and lowering inflammation therefore this helps in reducing a fever. All you have to do is to ensure that the compress is not very cold in order not to bring discomfort or harm the patients skin.
