Treatment to reduce fever is generally not required.[1][8] Treatment of associated pain and inflammation, however, may be useful and help a person rest.[8] Medications such as ibuprofen or paracetamol (acetaminophen) may help with this as well as lower temperature.[8][9] Measures such as putting a cool damp cloth on the forehead and having a slightly warm bath are not useful and may simply make a person more uncomfortable.[8] Children younger than three months require medical attention, as might people with serious medical problems such as a compromised immune system or people with other symptoms.[12] Hyperthermia does require treatment.[1]
