How to get rid of cotton fever?
A friend mentioned 'cotton fever' to me after I felt really sick one time with chills and body aches after an injection. I'm not sure what it is or how to avoid it. Can someone explain?

When the body is fighting any sudden fever or toxin, complete physical rest is essential. Practice quiet breathing, like basic Pranayama, to calm your nervous system, but do not exert yourself at all.

Cotton fever is usually a reaction to bacteria and needs proper medical evaluation. When I had a similar high-grade fever, I went straight to a hospital ER. Ask your doctor clearly if you need antibiotics or blood tests.

A sudden high fever with chills requires immediate attention and should not be treated with simple kitchen herbs. Keep yourself warm, drink plenty of warm water, and please consult a proper doctor immediately.

Fever means your immune system is working hard, so please avoid any physical workout or heavy walking right now. Once your doctor confirms your fever is gone and you feel energetic, you can slowly start light walks.

If you are tracking your body temperature and it is spiking rapidly along with chills, it is a clear sign of an infection. Please don't rely on app advice for this; go to a clinic to get your vitals checked by a professional.

Whenever my family members get a sudden high fever, I focus on keeping them hydrated and comfortable. But cotton fever can be serious due to bacterial contamination, so please don't wait at home and see a physician.
