How to control high fever?

A high fever is our body's way of fighting off an infection. Keep the patient in a well-ventilated room, apply cool damp strips on the forehead, and make sure they rest. Don't worry, with proper care and medicine, it will come down.

High fever can be very draining for the body. Focus on keeping yourself hydrated with simple ORS or coconut water, and rest completely. Please don't take any chances and consult a medical professional if it persists.

For a high fever, you must consult a doctor at a proper hospital to get the right dosage of medication. Don't just self-medicate with leftover tablets. Ask your doctor clearly when you should expect the fever to break.

My doctor told me that for a high fever, lukewarm water sponging is much safer than using cold water, as cold water can cause shivering and actually raise the internal body temperature. Always keep a log of the temperature readings to show your doctor.

Hey buddy, don't stress too much, just lie down and take a paracetamol if it's really high. Drink lots of fluids to keep your strength up, and call your doctor if the temperature doesn't come down in a few hours.
