My wife was thinking of adding crushed aspirin to the lemonade mixture and maybe the cough syrup, can't hurt?
Never give aspirin to children who have the flu. It can cause deadly Reye's Syndrome.

If a child has a high fever that can't be reduced with tylenol (acetaminophen), the best way to cool them down is in a tub of tepid water. (Shouldn't feel cold or hot to your arm.) They will shiver and probably cry, but it will knock the fever down in a hurry. It only takes a few minutes, then take child out of the tub, wrap in a big fluffy towel, and hug liberally. This also works for adults.
