High fever is scary. Hope you feel better soon.
When I get high fever, I can't eat anything heavy. I usually go for light dal khichdi, some bland soup, and lots of fresh fruit juice, no sugar. Staying nourished helps your body fight it. Just plain, comforting food.
A high fever is always a red flag and needs medical attention. It's crucial to identify the cause. Please consult a doctor immediately, especially if it's over 102°F or accompanied by other severe symptoms. Don't take chances.
High fever feels horrible, I know! I always keep paracetamol handy. Also, light clothes, cool compresses on pulse points (wrists, neck), and lots of coconut water or clear soup. If it's really spiking, please get a doctor's opinion, don't wait.
Take care. Rest as much as you can and drink plenty of fluids. A cool damp cloth on your forehead can bring some relief. Don't hesitate to seek medical advice.

Bro, high fever sucks. I usually take a Dolo 650, drink like 3-4 glasses of water back to back, and then try to sleep. A wet cloth on the forehead helps too. If it doesn't go down in a few hours, then doctor. Don't play around with high temp.
Honestly, a high fever is tough. Besides medication, I find a cool (not cold) sponge bath very effective. Also, drinking tulsi-ginger tea, sometimes with a pinch of black pepper, makes me feel a bit better and helps with the body aches. But if it's really high, please see a doctor.
