I would first verify the cat has a fever - normal body temperature for a cat is 100.5 to 102 degrees F, slightly higher than a human's normal body temperature. If your cat does have a fever, you should keep a very close eye on it to make sure it continues to eat, drink and use the litter box (both urinating and defecating). If any one of those four processes stops, or your cat becomes lethargic and doesn't want to interact with you like it normally does, you need to take your cat to a veterinarian.
Whatever happens, do NOT give your cat human fever reducers (Tylenol, Advil, aspirin, acetominophen, ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin, etc.) - these are extremely toxic to cats and one pill can be fatal.

Do antibiotics reduce fever?
When I worked as a nurse in Pediatrics we used Ibuprofen for fevers. It would bring them down in a hurry.More detail:The only way antibiotics would help reduce a fever is to fight the infection causing the fever - but only if it's an infection causing it. But the NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs), such as Ibuprofen, aspirin, etc., bring fever down by dilating the blood vessels, helping to release the heat.
