The menthol and eucalyptus oil in Vicks can create a cooling sensation, which may provide temporary comfort, but it doesn't lower body temperature. To effectively manage a fever, it's best to use antipyretic medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
