How long does it take to get rid of fever?
My daughter has a slight fever today and I've given her some medicine. I always get worried when she's unwell. How long does it typically take for a fever to go away with proper care?

Don't listen to people online telling you to drink random herbal extracts to cure a fever. A viral fever has a fixed cycle of 3 to 5 days, and only a doctor can tell if you need antibiotics or rest. Go get a proper consultation.

I was just looking this up because everyone in my college hostel has a fever right now. It seems most doctors say a basic viral bug takes 3 to 7 days to run its course. Hope you feel better soon.

Sardi-bukhar to teen-chaar din me thik ho jata hai, babu. Khoob aaram kariye aur garm paani pijiye. Agar do din me bukhar na utre, to turant daktar sahab ko dikha lijiyega.

Your body's immune system usually signs a peace treaty with the virus in 3 to 4 days. Until then, enjoy the free pass to lie in bed and watch your favorite shows guilt-free. Just drink your soup and stop checking the thermometer every ten minutes!

It takes about 3 days to recover from a mild fever. Putting cold water strips (patti) on the forehead and drinking tulsi-ginger decoction really helps in reducing the heat naturally. Please rest well and keep your diet very light.
