Tamilflu only works at the first sign of symptoms.
cold baths/rags don't break the fever, they may bring it down, but most suggest not doing cold, room temp baths at best.
And if you constantly bring the fever down, the fever can't do its job. Keeping the fever from dangerous levels is one thing, but bringing it down just to feel better can prolong the illness.
In effect, a fever means you're healthy many times because the body is doing what it's supposed to do.
Note: This is not actual advice, just some thoughts. Seek the care of your health care provider for diagnosis and treatment!
