What time does the fever play today?

My elderly mother has developed a fever today, and I'm quite worried. She's also feeling very weak. What time today should I be particularly cautious about her fever possibly spiking, or if it doesn't go down by a certain time?

For fever, my mother always made rasam and light rice. It's comforting. But please, if it's high or not reducing, don't hesitate to see the doctor. Their word is final.

Listen, fever means rest. No heroics. Get an appointment with a general physician, take the meds, and stay home. Simple.

When we get fever at home, first thing is to give paracetamol and cool sponging. It usually helps bring it down. And lots of fluids, like lemonade or ORS. That's what works for us.

Pehle toh thoda haldi doodh le lo, usse garmi milegi aur aaram. Agar zyada ho toh ghar ke bade buzurgo se ya doctor se pooch lena. Apne mann se zyada kuch mat karna.

I just recovered from a fever last week! For me, lots of water, light food, and paracetamol every 6 hours really helped. And don't push yourself to do anything, just rest.

Fever is quite common, don't worry too much. Mostly, it passes with rest and simple care. I've had many over the years, and a little patience usually does the trick. But always keep an eye on it.
