Home Treatments For Fever

Fever is something that usually alerts people, especially when it occurs in young children who have other health problems. Fever is more common in children than in adults because their immune systems are still developing and they do not respond to inflammation as quickly as they reach adulthood. In this article, we present a variety of home treatments for fever.

Fever is defined as a temperature above 37 degrees Celsius. It occurs when the body does not have enough antibodies to fight the attack of a virus, bacterium, or other microorganism. By raising the body temperature, it is possible to kill a harmful attack in a warmer atmosphere, and eventually eliminate it through sweat.  For this reason, fever should always be seen as a symptom of a health problem, which may require a visit to a doctor, especially if accompanied by other symptoms such as diarrhea, convulsions, or difficulty breathing.

Many people take different medications to lower their heat when they have a fever. But excessive use of these medications can have serious side effects on your health, some of which can appear right away.

What should I do when you have a fever?

First, when you suspect you have a fever, you should monitor it over time. If your temperature stays below 38 degrees Celsius, you should get enough rest and drink plenty of fluids. Eventually, your fever “folds” with sweating and your body removes any remaining toxins. When this happens, you should change your clothes and wash your sheets to avoid constant contact with these slags.

If the fever rises above 38 degrees, it is important to find a way to lower it and in an emergency one should go to the doctor. For babies under three months of age, the critical temperature is less than 38 degrees on the nip button. In this case, you should try home treatments for fever.

Home treatments for fever

There are countless natural ways to reduce fever. They are easy and safe ways to get your body back to a healthy temperature.

Porcupine ( Achillea millefolium )

Swine fever has been known as an antipyretic for centuries. It lowers body temperature and also has digestive enhancing properties as it fights parasites and other bacteria. In the event of a fever, it is recommended to enjoy a mixture of hogweed, mint and back bush.

Onions can be used to reduce fever if you slice them and place them on the floor. The febrile patient should stand on the onion slices for half an hour. For children, this works best when you put onion slices in socks and socks on your feet.

Sage

Another good way to regulate body temperature is to use sage. To do this, boil a cup (200 ml) of water and add a tablespoon of fresh sage, a teaspoon of honey and three tablespoons of lemon juice.

Potato

Potatoes contain natural anti-inflammatory ingredients and enzymes that can help reduce fever. To benefit from the potatoes, you need to mash or grate them and mix with cold water, then place  them on your forehead for about 10-15 minutes.

 Drink plenty of fluids

No matter what method you use to lower your fever, it is important that you drink plenty of fluids so that your body does not dry out. Drink lots of water as well as fresh juices, tea and broths.

Lemon peel and barley

This last treatment is helpful in restoring fluid balance that has dropped as the fever rises. To do this, add the lemon zest and two tablespoons of barley to about a liter of boiling water. Allow it to cool and simmer for 12 hours and then drink throughout the day after your fever has subsided.
