Mama Melody Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Any recommendations on herbal/home remedies? I usually have a lot of tea in the house, and I solve most of my health problems with a bath, tea, sleep, and copious amounts of vitamin C. But I tend not to get fevers, so I'm not sure if that'll work. Anyway, thoughts? Link to comment

Mama Melody Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Lol. Thanks. And yeah, I know when to go to the ER. It's a low one, less than 101. Just a persistent bugger. Link to comment
DL88 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 To be serious, Ice, damp cloths, and drinking lots of water generally helps me. Just have to let your body do what it does. Link to comment
Andy Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Lol. Thanks. And yeah, I know when to go to the ER. It's a low one, less than 101. Just a persistent bugger. Hot chicken soup & sweating it out under the blanket. But from real chicken and not instant stuff Link to comment
babymaggie Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 For me it is tylenol and lots of water and sleep. Link to comment
Mama Melody Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 My fever is down today. Almost normal! Thanks everyone! Link to comment
lovelylittle Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 glad your fever is down for next time, i don't recommend taking any fever-reducing medication unless it gets over 101 or is really, really uncomfortable... the purpose of a fever is for your body to kill whatever is invading your system, if you reduce the fever it keeps your immune system from doing the job it's trying to do. just my nursey two cents Link to comment

In case of fever anyway. In this regard I seem to remember that ASS or Aspirin can keep fever down too although the medicine is designed for headaches. But the headache usually cures a strong coffee and loads of water too. I do not like to take fever downing medicines. Not before temperature reaches 38.5-39 Link to comment
