Take acetomenophin (Tylenol), two tablets every four hours. You can also put the person in a tepid bath to help bring it down, since this will actually "cool" the body system. But if the fever goes over 102, then call the doctor. A sustained temperature over 102 can get quite serious rather quickly.

What does it mean when you have a fever and you hear a voice getting louder and louder?

It is not unusual when running a high fever to hear voices in a distorted way-- sometimes they seem louder, sometimes they seem as if they are very far away. This is often a symptom caused by the high fever. You should discuss these symptoms with your doctor, who can diagnose the cause of the high fever and give you medication to bring it down to normal, at which time your hearing should also return to normal.
