How to stop's fever?

When we get a fever, our heart rate and blood pressure can fluctuate because of the body's stress. It is very important to rest completely and track your temperature every few hours. Please consult a doctor to get the right medicine rather than guessing, especially if you have other health conditions.

I used to panic the moment the thermometer hit 100 degrees and think it was something dangerous. But my doctor explained that a mild fever is just the body's way of fighting off a virus. Keep hydrated with coconut water or warm soups, rest, and it usually settles down in 2-3 days.

Please don't take fever lightly if it lasts more than two days or is accompanied by a severe headache or shivering. My brother ignored a high fever which later turned out to be severe dengue with falling platelets. Go to a doctor and get a proper blood test done immediately.

Please don't start drinking random herbal decoctions or kadhas mentioned online, as high doses can sometimes irritate your stomach or liver. Fever is a symptom of many things, from a simple cold to infections. The only sensible thing is to get evaluated by a qualified doctor.

Aap thoda gunguna paani pijiye aur sharir ko bilkul thand mat lagne dijiye. Khane mein halki moong dal ki khichdi lijiye jo aasani se pach jaye. Aur haan, pass ke sarkari ya niji doctor babu ko ek baar dikha lijiye, jaldi aaram ho jayega.

Whenever my child or anyone in the family gets a fever, I focus on light clothing and keeping the room ventilated. Sponging with normal tap water (never cold water) helps pull the heat out safely. Keep a chart of the temperature readings so you can show it to your pediatrician or family doctor.
