If you have a fever, then this is your bodies natural response and one way of trying to make you better, so you don't necessarily want to lower it unless it is very high. ibuprofen and Tylenol I have always found to help if the fever is keeping you up at night, perhaps that is just some pain relief from the achiness however. If your fever is very high, like over 103-104F I believe, you ought to go see a doctor as your body probably can't fight the infection/sickness on its own and needs anti-biotics or other medicine, and over this range things become quite dangerous, brain damage and even death can occur from really high fevers.
Just remember that fevers, if you can, are good things to keep around so long as they aren't too high, as they will help you recover faster. They suck though, naturally, and if you have something important you must do then for me an advil or two would always bring it down temporarily.
