71 Yr-old Husband Home From Hospital Yesterday; Today, Hemo Dialysis

71 yr-old husband home from hospital yesterday; today, hemo dialysis & heparin to break up fibers in PD cath today w/pain & pressure in penis. Came home & began shivering w/3 blankets! Checked temp - 103.0. What's the best fever treatment; should he go to the ER yet again (discharged from rehab Sun. & in hospital 1 1/2 wks before that)? Hate considering ER/hospital one more time, but what's best?
