What to do when u have a high fever?
My daughter has been having a very high fever since last night, over 102 degrees. We've given her medicine, but it's not coming down. What else can I do when you have a high fever, especially for a child?

Ugh, high fever is the absolute worst! All you crave is comfort food but can barely eat. Sip on clear soups and nimbu pani. And definitely take your fever meds! If it doesn't break, no amount of yummy food will make you feel better, so head to the doctor, don't delay the good food life!
A high fever always makes me so worried, like, what if it's something serious? Does anyone else get super anxious and immediately start thinking about worst-case scenarios? I usually just take a paracetamol and try to sleep, but if it doesn't go down, I panic and want to run to the hospital. Is that normal?
Oh, a high fever can make you feel so terrible and drained, I completely understand. I've tried everything from cold compresses to kadha with ginger and tulsi. They do offer some comfort. But for really high or stubborn fevers, always, always consult a doctor. They can diagnose properly and give the right medication, which is ultimately the most practical thing to do.
High fever means you need to be smart. Paracetamol is cheap and effective, keep some at home. Drink lots of water, ORS packets are also very affordable. If the fever doesn't come down after a day or two, then go to a local clinic. A basic consultation won't cost much, but delaying could lead to more expensive tests later. Plan smartly.
Arre beti, jab bukhar tez ho, toh pehle toh aaram karo. Thanda paani piyo aur kadi patti ka lep laga lo matha par. Hum toh yahi karte hain gaon mein. Lekin agar bukhar na utre aur kamzori lage bahut, toh doctor ko dikhana zaroori hai. Bhagwan sab theek karega.

For a high fever, I usually try to bring it down with a cool compress on the forehead and feet, and plenty of fluids like herbal teas or warm water. A light khichdi helps too. But if the fever is persistent, very high, or if there are other worrying symptoms like difficulty breathing, then it's absolutely crucial to see a doctor. Home remedies have their limits.
Haan bhai, high fever mein toh body kaafi weak ho jaati hai. Sabse pehle toh rest kar, aur pani bahut peena. ORS bhi rakh ghar pe. Agar zyada high ho, toh paracetamol le le, jitna doc ne bola hai. Na, idhar udhar ke totke mat karna, agar theek na ho toh doctor ko dikha dena.
