A fever is the body's natural reaction to the presence of foreign bacteria or infections. A fever may indicate an infection or an allergic reaction. To treat a mild fever, you can take over the counter medication, such as ibuprofen. Ask your doctor before taking any medication. It's also important to consume plenty of water to ensure adequate hydration.
