What helps a fever go away?
Both aspirin and paracetamol reduce fever but aspirin should not be given to children under 12. Liquid paracetamol such as Calpol is recommended for young children. However since fever is a response to your body's immune system fighting bacteria or viruses there is some suggestion it is best not to try to reduce fever but only to reduce discomfort by applying a tepid damp cloth to the forehead to reduce a high temperature. If a baby has a high or persistent fever or fever is accompanied by listlessness, palour or quickened breathing you should see a doctor.

Does Benadryl really reduce a fever in a dog?
Benadryl is an antihistamine. It does not work on or affect the temperature center of biological organisms. Now, if you're referring to the term "Hay Fever" which is another term for allergies, pollen irritants, etc. yes, you can give Children's Benadryl, in SMALL doses to a dog or cat to help them with sneezing, dry cough, etc. Do this only after you have called a vet and spoken with them or a vet tech to ensure that you're giving the right proportion of medicine-to-body-weight ratio. I've used it in my ferrets and cats for allergies, sneezing, etc. and never had any problems. It does have a sedating, sleep inducing affect, so they may get sleepy after being given the medicine. If your dog has a real fever, then you need to check with your vet to determine why there is fever and what can be given safely to the animal to control the fever.

Can suboxone reduce fever?
Oxycodone by itself does not reduce fever. Many forms of oxycodone (specifically Percocet/Percodan, Vicodin, or Roxicet) contain a percentage of acetaminophen (a.k.a Tylenol), which is a pain reliever/fever reducer. Together, these two drugs work stronger and the Tylenol can reduce a fever.
