Health & Lifestyle Fevers

What do you usually do when you have a fever?

My daughter scared me last night because she felt really warm while sleeping and when I went to check her temp it was 103F! I unbundled her from the blankets, had drink water ,and I held her for a while. It went down to 100.4. After doing some Googling I learned that fevers are our body's natural way of combating illness so I decided to wait it out. Her temperature never got back up thankfully.

I get my butt on the couch and wrap up in a nice heavy blanket and drink lots of tea.

Fevers are natural but they can be quite scary. I'm glad what you were doing helped it come down. Hugs to you

Whenever I have a fever I always ensure that I don't place too much on myself such as blankets and more clothing as I know that will never help. I will also drink plenty of cool water but not overly cold water as well to help bring my fever down and also take some kind of pain relief to hopefully help bring my fever down. If my kids ever get a fever I do pretty much the same for them as well but I always worry more about my kids when they get a fever as it can be dangerous in some cases if they get too warm and their fever does not come down on its own.

I do find the best thing to do is to sweat it out, I know being wrapped up in a blanket is tough as you already feel warm however it seems to work when I'm sick.

I rarely catch fevers. The last time I got fever was in the year 2019. If I were to catch fever in the year 2020, then everybody would have started to think that I am infected with COVID-19. It is always a good idea to drink a lots of hot beverages when you get fever as a result of common cold.

I had a really bad fever the first night I got Covid a few weeks ago. I had some cooling pads that go on your forehead and that helped bring my fever down. I also laid down in my fan to cool off too. When I was a young kid, I had a really high fever too and my mom put me in some cold water. It didn't really help much though, so I had to be admitted to the er.
