So far I've:
* Taken Advil twice
* Eaten a bit of food
* Gone outside where it's a bit cooler
* Taken some Emergen-C, per Bee's recommendation
My temperature came down from 102.6 to 101.3 to 100.9... wow, those 1-2 degrees make a huge difference! I feel much much better.
My temperature is just below 101... how can I get it down more? I'd like to be healthy-ish tomorrow, so that I can help watch Mister Charlie all day.
Do you have any suggestions for getting a temperature down?

Honestly... I would leave it be. You've got it down enough that you are out of the danger zone (up in the 103 and above range). A fever is the sign that your body is doing what its supposed to and working to fight whatever infection you have. The best things for you to do are rest rest rest and push fluids to flush your system.

Get naked! Drink cool beverages, take a cool bath or cool compresses, sleep, alternate tylenol & Motrin if all else fails. Hope you feel better soon!

Wagon Sr.'s method is to wrap himself up into lots of layers (including sweatshirts, hoods, scarves, etc) and go to bed and sweat it all out. I could never do that... but it seems to help with him.

When i have a fever, I can't stay under covers. It always feels better when I put a wet or cold towel on my head. I'm not sure if it helps my fever but it makes me more comfortable than being all hot and bothered.

Tylenol is better at breaking a fever than Advil. You can alternate the two of them every 3 or 4 hours.
