My mother always tells us to drink warm jeera water and rest when fever strikes. But for high temperature, we must consult a doctor and take proper medication like paracetamol. Please don't ignore it if the temperature is crossing 101.

I totally get it, high fever makes you feel so weak and shivering is just terrible. Please don't worry, just keep doing normal water sponging on your forehead and hands. Make sure you see a doc if it doesn't go down in a day.

In our times, we used to drink warm tulsi and ginger water to help the body sweat out the fever. But you must also take proper medical advice from a doctor for high temperatures. Do not use very cold water for sponging as it can cause chills.

Bro, high fever is the worst, especially during exams time. I just pop a crocin after asking my mom and drink lots of coconut water. If it doesn't drop, go to the clinic nearby instead of waiting.

Yes, absolutely agree on taking paracetamol. Keep tracking the temp with a digital thermometer every few hours so you can tell the doctor.

When the body temperature rises, it is a sign of internal healing, so do not stress the body with physical strain. Keep your breathing calm and deep, drink plenty of warm fluids, and take medicine if it becomes uncomfortable. Resting the mind and body is the ultimate restorer.

To manage high temperature safely, paracetamol is generally the first line of defense, alongside staying highly hydrated. However, a doctor's advice is crucial to identify the underlying cause, whether bacterial or viral. Please visit a clinic if the fever is persistent.
