发烧
have a Fever
A fever is a higher-than-normal body temperature, one of the body’s natural responses to infection. A low-grade fever isn't usually a cause for concern, but a temperature 102°F and above should be treated.
发烧是身体对感染的自然反应之一,体温高于正常水平。低烧通常不需要担心,但102华氏度(大约38.9摄氏度)以上的体温应该得到治疗。
low-grade fever表示程度比较低的发烧,理解作低烧,而“发高烧”简单点可以说成 have a high fever,或者根据其本质就是体温很高表达成 have a high temperature。
退烧
“退烧”比较专业的一个词是动词defervesce /ˌdefə'ves/,它的意思就是退热,也可用它的形容词defervescing表示“退热的”。
比如,医生在交流病情时的会说
A: How's the patient?
病人情况如何
B: He's defervescing. Lytes, chest x ray, urinalysis were all normal.
他退烧了。电解质,胸部X光片,尿检结果都正常。

也有很多口语中比较简单的搭配可以表达“退烧”,
比如
reduce fever
fever's down
fever's broken
The fever is gone.
Fever came down.
The heat is coming off.
而且,“退烧”可以理解为“体温降下来”
所以用英语说就是:
The temperature comes down.
