My fever has reached 103 degrees, and I already took Ibugesic Plus, but it's still high. What can help bring it down?

A fever of 103 degrees Fahrenheit that does not reduce even after taking Ibugesic Plus can happen with strong viral infections, flu, throat infection, dengue, urinary infection, or other illnesses causing significant inflammation in the body. Fever may also stay high for some time if the medicine has not fully started working or if dehydration is present. Some people feel better by drinking enough fluids, wearing light clothes, resting, and using normal water sponging on the forehead, neck, and underarms. Avoid taking extra fever medicine too quickly, as excessive doses may harm the liver, stomach, or kidneys. Doctors may sometimes change the medicine or look for the exact infection if the fever stays high. Checking temperature regularly and watching for new symptoms is important. Seek medical care soon if you develop breathing difficulty, severe weakness, confusion, chest pain, dehydration, repeated vomiting, rash, or fever lasting more than a couple of days.
