fever is a sign of something under lying .. its your bodys NATURAL way of fighting off what is going on..

Different reasons for fever should also include

teething (low grade in a child under the age of 2.5)

Infection

Asthma ..

just to name a few that I am aware of with children  and adults

to take meds or not to take meds .. depends

to take fora  cure _ wont happen

the fever reducer is a good thing to take if the fever is 101 or the person is misserable ..to help them feel a little less awful ............but remember that cause is still there so untill you take care of what is causeing the fever ..the fever will only come back .........any fever lasting more than 3 days one should see a doctor!

fever runs with the common old. what would you say to help eleviate those other symptoms. sinus conjestion, running nose, joint pain an general aches?

[sorceress426]

For your congestions,  heat water to just before boiling.  Put a teaspoon of vicks vapor rub in a bowl, and the water, stir.  Breathe in the vapor.  That's the fast way.  you could always get eucalyptus & do the same.  when water cools, soak a washcloth , wring & apply to the aches.

If you still have a fever after 72 hrs, or start getting light headed, get to the doctor.

Lots of rest and plenty of fluids, also chicken soup a remedy
