Hey buddy, don't stress too much about the fever, your body is just fighting off some bug. Just crawl into bed, drink lots of water, and take a paracetamol if your body is aching badly. You will be absolutely fine in a couple of days!

Keep yourself hydrated with coconut water or warm soups and get plenty of sleep. Rest is the best medicine for a fever.

Look, the rule is simple: stop working and rest. Drink plenty of warm water or ORS to stay hydrated, and don't sit directly under a high-speed AC. If the fever doesn't go down in three days, go see a doctor, don't keep self-medicating.

A simple lukewarm water sponge bath is very effective if the temperature is climbing high. Avoid taking ice-cold showers as they make you shiver. Keep sipping warm water and eat light khichdi to keep your strength up.

I tried to ignore a persistent fever last year, and it turned out to be severe typhoid that took weeks to cure. Please do not take persistent high fever lightly. Get your blood tested and consult a proper physician early.

Beta, drink warm water boiled with tulsi leaves and ginger, it helps the body sweat out the heat naturally. Eat simple home-cooked food and rest under a light cotton sheet. If the fever is too high, do not hesitate to consult a doctor.
