Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

In my opinion, high fever can be due to infection either bacterial, malaria or viral. You can take Paracetamol to reduce the high temperature. Take plenty of fluids, avoid heavy clothing, and dress lightly. Do laboratory tests to rule out the infection for proper treatment. Thank you and take care. Regards.
