How to quickly bring down a fever with home remedies: tips relevant for the cold season
An increase in temperature is a typical manifestation of colds that literally haunt us in the off-season.
According to experts, you should not try to lower the temperature if it does not exceed 38.5 degrees.
However, if the temperature is not so high, but you still feel extremely bad, you should not show heroism, endure and hold on - instead, try to reduce this indicator using medication and folk methods.
How to bring down a fever
First of all, let us remind you that the best thing you can do if you feel unwell is to see a doctor.
While medics are rushing to the call, take the following measures.
1. Lie down and calm down.
2. You should wear light clothing that will not interfere with sweating. You can use a thin blanket or sheet to cover yourself.
3. Make sure that there is an influx of fresh air into the room – the room temperature should not exceed 22 degrees.
4. Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. This can be not only water, but also tea - herbal or ginger, tea with lemon or berry juice.
5. Prepare a cool compress for yourself, which should be kept on your forehead for about half an hour.
6. Take an antipyretic and continue to monitor your body temperature.
