General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Fever is a sign of infection in your body. A good physical examination is recommended to determine the site of infection.
Treating infection adequately will make fever disappear.

Resting, lots of fluids are great helpers in reducing the fever. However, unfortunately, they can't fight it.

Increased heart beat is a physiological response to fever and infection you are facing.

So, I highly recommend to consult with your physician, get a good physical examination to determine the site of infection and get treated adequately. Prescription meds might be required.

Wish fast recovery.
