Ordinarily, you should not try to suppress fevers. Fevers are beneficial and in fact, body's defense mechanism [1].

High fever is not good. While I think you should be restrictive with medications. There's no need to suffer more then necessary. It's also a good idea to seek medical consulting.

Unless of course you don't care about the secondary issues that fevers can cause

Strong fevers should be controlled usually

Also don't forget about patient comfort (if it gets too high it feels awful)
