Boiled water, ginger and brown sugar

Methods/Steps

1 If you have a low fever, you should first drink more water, preferably boiled water. Use a large cup to drink water until you can't drink any more. Go to the toilet more often, and some of the viruses in your body will have been excreted.

2 Then you can also cook ginger and sugar water at home. Slice or chop the ginger, add brown sugar and boil it. Drink it while it is hot, and then sleep and sweat. This method is not effective when the fever is not serious at the beginning.

3 You can also use physical cooling methods. Pour warm water, soak a towel in the warm water, and wipe your body, especially your forehead, armpits, palms, and soles of your feet.

4 If the fever is less than 38.5 degrees, but has lasted for a while, you can go to the hospital to see what the cause is, and then take the medicine prescribed by the hospital. Generally, colds are divided into wind-cold and wind-heat, so different cold medicines can be used. If it is caused by inflammation, you can also take some antibiotics. This depends on the doctor's judgment. Once the cold and inflammation are cured, the fever will naturally go away.

5 If the fever reaches 38.5 degrees or above, you should take antipyretics or go to the hospital for an antipyretic injection.

Everyone knows what to do when an adult has a fever. If the fever is not very serious, you can try it yourself at home. If it is serious, you must seek medical attention in time. Cooling down the room has a good effect on cooling down a fever. For example, wiping the body with warm water can relieve the high fever. I hope you can recover soon.
