Brief Answer:
Advil is a good option!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this fever that you have reported. I have reviewed your information fully and this is suggestive of a possible viral upper respiratory tract infection. I will suggest that you go with advil and monitor your temperature. Add water and dress lightly and you can use a fab/air conditioner to make sure that the temperature gets controlled.

Keep me posted on this. I wish you well. If there is need for more information and clarifications if need be.
