How To Get Relief From Fever?

Hi, my boyfriend has been very hot and feels as if he might pass out. I have him lying in bed now. He says he has a fever, but I don t really feel one on his forehead. His skin feels cool and he is not clammy, nor very sweaty. The past four days he has been working outside, maybe 5-9 hours each day. But he has been drinking water. Today he went and played paintball with friends, and came back like this. He ate food and has been drinking liquids, but still is in bed with a cold washcloth against his head. Any help?

hello madam,
welcome to HCM,
i would better suggest you to take your friend to a hospital and get blood tests done so that the exact cause of the fever can be assessed and correct treatment can be given.
