Is it better to let the fever burn itself out or medicate it into submission?

Imo only medicate over 105. Fever is a healing process.

If the patient is 6 years old and it's 101.....

Ask their doctor. If it were my child I would prob medicate at 102/103. If you want natural to try to support the body thru an illness, try https://health.bastyr.edu/news/health-tips/2009/11/dive-feet-first-wellness-natural-remedy

105 for certain people can literally fry your brain. My threshold is lower at ~102 for most people, especially if they have lower body mass.

That being said, I don't medicate to kill the fever, just control or mitigate it.
