Tips on how to quickly reduce fever

Fever is a common disease that is more common in daily life. There are many reasons for fever, most of which are caused by viral and bacterial infections. The body's own response to fever also varies. Some people will recover automatically after a fever overnight, while others will not develop any complications and no other causes can be found except the fever. When dealing with fever, medication is usually used for treatment, but medication can cause harm to the human body. So how to reduce fever in a short time? The following are detailed tips for reducing fever quickly.

1. Cold compress

   If a high fever is unbearable, cold compresses can be used to help lower the body temperature. Place a cold wet towel on your forehead, wrists, and calves, and cover other parts of your body with clothing. When the cold compress reaches body temperature, it should be changed and repeated until the fever subsides. You can also wrap ice cubes in a cloth bag and place it on your forehead.

2. Ginger foot bath

   Soak your feet in ginger water, adding water and soaking until you start sweating. It will probably take more than 30 minutes to start sweating. This is an excellent way to eliminate fever caused by a cold.

3. Drink plain water

   When you have a fever, your body is severely dehydrated. Drinking more boiled water can replenish the body's water, accelerate sweating, and quickly reduce fever.

4. Bleeding at the tip of the ear

   After disinfecting with a three-edged needle (which should be available in medical supply stores and pharmacies), let 4-5 drops of blood from the tip of the ear (you need to squeeze it to make it bleed). After ten minutes, the body temperature will drop.

5. Rub the soles of your feet with ginger

   Use ginger to rub the "Yongquan" point on the soles of the feet and the "Dazhui" point on the back. This is the best way to reduce fever.

6. Alcohol bath

   This is the most effective method. Make sure to use diluted alcohol for alcohol bath! Rub all over your body.

7. Rest in bed.

   At this time, you may feel body aches, weakness in your limbs, dizziness, etc., so don't force yourself to work. Keeping your body healthy is the key. Go to sleep and cover yourself with a thick blanket to help your body sweat. The process of sweating is also the body's way of dissipating heat.

8. Supplement vitamin C and E.

   Vitamin C is a natural antibiotic that has anti-inflammatory, fever-reducing and immunity-enhancing effects. You can drink some appropriately. You can drink nutritional supplements or buy them at a pharmacy. Vitamin E also needs to be supplemented. High temperature will accelerate oxidation in cells, and appropriate vitamin E can protect the cells.
