It's best not to try to reduce your fever unless it's rather high; fever actually helps your body kill the virus. Make sure you stay hydrated with water, broth, juice, whatever sounds good to you.

Also, a home remedy I learned that helped a bit--when you go to bed, lie with your head to the side. Protect your pillow with an old towel. Take one capful of 3% hydrogen peroxide (the kind you can get at the drugstore) and put it in your accessible ear. You will hear/feel the bubbling for a while. It may tickle a bit, but it doesn't hurt. Once that stops, put a towel over that ear and tip your head so the peroxide drains out. Repeat with the other ear. You can also gargle with peroxide/water mixture as directed on the peroxide bottle. It really does help, and doesn't taste unpleasant. I actually did this up to 3x/day.
