What are some quick ways to reduce fever

Many people have experienced fever, and many diseases also have symptoms of fever. It can be said that fever is one of our most common diseases. When it comes to fever, the most important thing is to reduce it. If the human body is kept in a high temperature state for a long time, it is likely to cause irreparable damage to the human body, and in severe cases it may even cause deafness or blindness. Many people become disabled due to prolonged high fever, so reducing fever is extremely important. Today I will introduce to you some quick methods to reduce fever.

1. Sweating and fever-reducing method

This is the most common method of reducing fever and is suitable for patients with colds and fever. Common symptoms include fever and aversion to cold, with no sweating or poor sweating. Due to the different nature of the pathogens and the patient's physical constitution, these colds can be divided into two major categories: wind-heat colds and wind-cold colds. The symptoms of wind-heat cold are obvious fever, high body temperature, usually sweating, and also headache, thirst, sore throat and other symptoms. The evil heat can be dispelled by sweating, so that the fever will be relieved, thus achieving the effect of reducing fever. Symptoms of wind-cold cold include mild fever, obvious aversion to cold, generally no sweating, and also headache, limb aches, nasal congestion and clear runny nose, no thirst, no throat pain, and a floating and tight pulse. Treatment should be based on spicy and cool herbs to relieve the symptoms, induce sweating and reduce fever. Jiuwei Qianghuo Pills and Ganmao Qingre Granules can be used for treatment. At the same time, we can also reduce fever by drinking more hot water, covering ourselves with more quilts, taking a sauna, or soaking our feet in hot water to induce sweating. However, when taking a sauna, we must pay attention to keeping warm and avoid being exposed to the wind. When we have a fever, the pores of the skin are blocked. Gua Sha can open the pores, discharge the evil spirits inside, and also has the effect of reducing fever.

2. Treat heat with cold

Cold medicines can be used to reduce fever. This method is mainly suitable for patients with fever but no chills. If the "four major" symptoms are seen, namely, persistent high fever (high fever), excessive sweating (profuse sweating), thirst for cold drinks (profuse thirst), and a strong and rapid pulse (strong pulse), etc., it is a syndrome of excessive heat and damage to body fluids. At this time, the method of sweating to reduce fever cannot be used. The method of reducing fever with sweet and cold herbs should be used. The Chinese medicine Baihu Decoction can be used for treatment. If the patient has persistent high fever, irritability, dry mouth and throat, dry stool, yellow urine, red tongue with yellow coating, and a strong and rapid pulse, it is a symptom of severe heat toxicity and should be treated with bitter and cold methods to clear away heat. Sanhuang tablets can be used for treatment. In life, we can also drink some cold drinks, but since both medicines and drinks are cold and can easily damage the spleen and stomach, we should know when to stop. If the body temperature is above 38 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. You can put ice cubes on the forehead, armpits and other parts of the body, or use alcohol baths to reduce fever. In addition, you can also press the Fengchi or Quchi acupoint for 10 minutes to achieve the effect of sweating and reducing fever.

After reading the above methods, I believe everyone has their own understanding of reducing fever. There may be more than just these methods to reduce fever. What we list here are just some simple methods. If the situation is really serious and these methods are ineffective, it is best to go to the hospital.
