Help me to fight my fever!!

Hello ladysurvivor!(",) You should take a rest now and drink a lot of water and drink your antipyretic medication.(",) Having a good rest is very important.(",)

Hydrate yourself. Drink lots of water, eat (coz sometimes when I'm starved I get feverish) and get some rest. Relax and if you believe me or not sometimes it's like mind over matter. In my case, I would psyche myself that I won't let this fever make me sick. Be positive and think positive or happy thoughts. You could also take common over the counter medicine for fever. But if your fever gets too high and there are other serious symptoms coming out then I think you should really go to the doctor immediately cause it might be something serious already. Hope you'll get well soon.

I know this is kind of late ...... Drink as much water as you can in order to replace fluid loss. It will also help to bring down body temperature. Rest as much as possible. Avoid suddenly changes in atmospheric temperatures. Avoid eating solid foods until the fever is gone. You can replace the foods by drinking plenty of distilled water and/or juices. when you have fever do not take any supplement containing either iron or zinc. Taking iron causes great tension in a body that is fighting infection; and zinc is not absorbed by the body when you have fever. Take cool bathes, fill a bath tub, submerge and lay down for 5' approximately. Repeat as needed until the fever is down. If the fever does not exceed 102 degrees let it run its course. It helps the body to fight infection and eliminate toxins.

What I would normally do is to drink lots of fluid especially plain water, vitamin c drinks and honey and lemon mixture drink that I would make myself. Then, I would pop up 2 Panadol and try to sleep with the fan on. Try to dress lightly... If your temperature still rise, I would take a quick cold shower to try to eliminate the heat... After a couple of rounds and it doesn't work, then I would drag myself to the doctor!! :

I suggest a water therapy is good. Specially that you have fever. If it doesn't work within 24hour you need to go to the doctor. There are infections that can cause fever. Inorder not to complicate things you need a professional help. God bless!

hi ladysurvivor. how are you? how was your fever? most of family is having fever right now...My sister, my nieces, my nephews.... drink a lot water and get rest.. but not too much of rest. think positive. think that you are already well. the most powerful medicine is your mind. if you think that you are healthy, then you are...

The only way to go about this to take Tylenol or Ibuenprofen. That usually work for me and it may work for you too.

Taking Tylenol or Advil can help keep the fever down. Acetominophen, or Ibuprofen - they can help keep pain at bay and reduce your fever. There is also a supplement I take whenever I think I am getting sick. it's from Arbonne International, and it's called "Get Well Soon" it has helped me stave off colds and such, and I really recommend it. I can give you a website where you can buy it if you are interested. (the web link is on my profile, too)

Fever occurs when the body's internal "thermostat" raises the body temperature above its normal level. This thermostat is found in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus knows what temperature your body should be (usually around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 37 degrees Celsius) and will send messages to your body to keep it that way. Most people's body temperatures even change a little bit during the course of the day: It's usually a little lower in the morning and a little higher in the evening and can fluctuate as kids run around, play, and exercise. Sometimes, though, the hypothalamus will "reset" the body to a higher temperature in response to an infection, illness, or some other cause. So, why does the hypothalamus tell the body to change to a new temperature? Researchers believe turning up the heat is the body's way of fighting the germs that cause infections and making the body a less comfortable place for them.
