How to reduce fever in adults? You can do this without taking medicine!

In life, due to seasonal changes, the temperature may become unstable, our body's resistance may be weakened, and some stress may cause us to get a fever. Many people will immediately think of going to the hospital to get an IV drip or take various antipyretic drugs when they have fever symptoms. In fact, the consequence of doing so will often make our immunity lower. Frequent IV drips or medication will cause greater harm to our health and will not have many benefits to our health. Now let’s talk about some fever-reducing methods for adults without taking medicine.

Method 1: Keep warm and drink water.

In medicine, a temperature below 38.5 degrees is called a low fever, a temperature above 37 degrees is generally called a fever, and a temperature above 38.5 degrees is called a high fever. The illnesses that cause fever also vary. Usually when a fever is caused by a cold, the body will feel cold in the early stages, so the first thing we should do is to keep warm rather than dissipate heat. For fever caused by other diseases, we should first drink warm water, slightly hotter water is better. A large amount of hot water entering the body will cool down through sweating, and urination will also eliminate toxins from the body. Keep the frequency of drinking water to one cup every half an hour. Drink repeatedly.

If the fever is not high, you can use a cooling patch and stick it on your forehead. You will sweat and cool down after a while.

Method three: Take a hot bath .

Taking a hot bath is also a good method. When the body comes into contact with hot water, it will naturally take away the heat and achieve the purpose of cooling down. However, if the illness does not get better and the fever recurs, these methods can be used at the same time. Not any one of them alone will do.

Method 4: Rest in bed.

Sometimes hard work or getting angry can cause a fever. At the same time, when you feel drowsy or very tired, it means you need to rest. At this time, you just need to lie down on the bed, cover yourself with the quilt, draw the curtains and go to sleep. Generally, your body will recover after about a day's sleep. Replenish water and food in time and your body will be better soon.

If you like, you can also go to the sauna center to sweat, take a hot bath, and get a massage. It just depends on whether your body can hold up. It’s up to you. But these methods can help you sweat and cool down. Be sure to wear more clothes when you come out. Keep warm, especially in cold weather.

Method seven: Treat diseases.

Fever is the body's way of fighting off disease. If there is inflammation in any part of the body, such as a lower respiratory tract infection, then the fundamental solution is to eliminate the inflammation in a timely manner.
