How can I lower my fever?

Q: My fever is 102.4, and I want to know how to lower my temperature. I took a cold cold bath yesterday, and I wonder is taking cold baths good for a fever? I have taken tylenol, and my throat is a bit raw, and I don’t feel like throwing up. I’m also on my period.

A: NO! You did something very wrong. A cold bath will only make you sicker, you see in movies that people in high fever lay on snow and stuff but it is only for extreme situations.
