How to reduce high fever fast?

When you have a high fever, your metabolic rate spikes, so absolutely no exercise or heavy movement is allowed. Just focus on complete bed rest and drinking lots of fluids like coconut water or lime water to keep hydrated.

Last week I got hit with 103 fever out of nowhere. Honestly, cold sponging and paracetamol are the only things that work fast. Don't pile on three blankets even if you feel cold, it just traps the heat inside.

A high fever drains your body's glycogen stores, so fast recovery needs light carbs. Drink rice starch water (kanji) or electoral powder in water. Keep the workouts on complete hold until you are fully recovered.

For quick relief, keep paracetamol tablets ready in your first-aid box, it costs barely a few rupees. Sponging at home is free and works instantly. Don't run for expensive hospital consultations unless the fever doesn't come down in 24 hours.

Hello, my brother has a very high fever right now. Is it safe to give him paracetamol twice in four hours if the temperature is not dropping, or should we go to the hospital emergency?

I was reading that a lukewarm bath is actually better than cold water to reduce fever fast, because very cold water makes you shiver, which raises internal body temperature. Has anyone tried this?

My temperature hit 103 last month and I absolutely panicked thinking it was some dangerous infection. But my doctor calmed me down, asked me to keep sponging my body, and the fever broke naturally by morning. You will be absolutely fine.
