"Fever reduction" A more professional word is the verb defervesce /ˌdefə'ves/, it means to reduce fever, and its adjective defervescing can also be used to mean "antipyretic". For example, when a doctor communicates about his condition, he will say:

A: How's the patient?A: How's the patient's condition?B: He's defervescing. Lytes, chest x ray, urinalysis were all normal.B: His fever has gone down. Electrolytes, chest X-ray, and urine test results were all normal.

There are also many simple collocations in spoken language that can express "reducing fever". For example: reduce a fever lower a fever The fever goes/comes down. break a fever The fever is gone. The heat is coming off. Moreover, "reducing fever" can be understood as "body temperature comes down", so in English we can say: The temperature comes down.
