Answers:
How do you even know she has a fever.did you take her temperature rectally? Cats have a higher body temperature than humans.. their normal temp is 101-102 degrees. You cannot "feel" your cats temperature either.you have to take it to be sure. There really are no safe at home medications you can give your cat, most over the counter human medicine can kill a cat. Sounds like your kitty has an upper respiratory infection.so just get her to the vet ASAP and the vet will probaly put her on antibiotics and will take her temp then to determine if she has a fever or not.
DO NOT use aspirin! It is toxic to cats.
are you sure she has a fever? cats temp usually runs about 102 degrees.dont give anything until you see the vet tomorrow.no aspirin, tylenol or motrin these are fatal to cats
use a moist cloth to cool her down
first take her temperature use a rectal thermometer if she has a fever put rubbing alcohol her paws and if you think its a cold give her a really small dose of Robitussin
Sneezing doesn't equal a fever. You shouldn't treat something if you don't know what's wrong. Take her to the vet tomorrow. If you think it's serious, take her to the Emergency clinic
Keep it hydrated and fed and contact your vet as soon as possible. There is no fever reducer you can give at home
Put a cold wash cloth on her forehead.
