Paracetamol will work to bring down a temperature.

Anything with paracetamol but avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatories such as Ibuprofen.

Paracetamol based medication will help as already mentioned. If you are unable to take paracetamol then I suggest you call your surgery for further advice or your pharmacist.
