Help :| Hi not die!
« on: 07-02-2011, 03:02:12 »
So, on saturday, I got a fever. The temperature stood in the 99.5 - 100.7 range. (Fahrenheit, of course)  
Today, I have had a temperature range of 100.9 - 103.3. (106 being the expen sive box zone) Any suggestions to get the fever down? I'll be missing school tommorow to go to the local healthcare place to get checked out so in the long term, it shouldn't be too bad. I've already tried eating blueberries and drinking green tea for the anti-oxidants along with 2 pills of tylenol uber strength.

tl;dr
Sick, need ways to lower a fever temperature.  :)

Feed a cold, starve a fever. Dont eat anything, only have fluids (it will help lower you temperature aswell.

Lots of tea and water always work for me. Swallow what tries to come out through the nose. Drop the Tylenol. If you don't feel like eating much, try some dairy with kiwi's - you will eat something, flush through even more, and kiwi's are vitamin clusterbombs.

If it hits 104 though, seek medical attention.

Try drinking alcohol, even just a bit.  Alcohol flushes your veins and causes them to expand, causing you to lose heat faster.  Thus why alcohol makes you feel warm (cuz of the sudden heat release) but you actually get colder.

Green Tea lowers your blood pressure, and that Chinese medicine term of "cooling/heating effects" generally works by lowering/increasing your blood pressure.

Anyway, when I got fever, I usually do what G.Drew and Gezoes suggested. Eating pain killers won't help that much.

Suck on icecubes, they give you liquids and bring the fever down.

I'm all for the good o'le wet cloth on the forehead/back once every few hours, to keep the body cool from the outside and importantly, protect the brain a bit from overheating ; ). Drink tons of liquids, preferred non-hot mostly. Eat a few small things like bisquits or whatever you feel like (a soup). Eating nothing ain't good, but eating regular stuff will cost too much energy.

Also, keep laying in bed and forget about _doing_ anything. Just sit there, watch a movie, stare at the ceiling. Thats what I did for two and a half days with a tough fever a month ago and it went away - slowly.

Took a few mild painkillers against the insane muscle pain, could not relax/sleep because of it. Dont like taking painkillers though. Many are bad on the stomach anyways, an area that is vulnerable because of low food intake..

Well, good luck. And dont let the temps get too high...if they do, seek medical attention rapidly!
