  1. I’m glad my children’s doctor agrees. He alleyways said not to give Advil unless it was super high. Just rest and fluids.

  2. Taking care of your health is very important. Good article!

  3. Excellent and necessary article! Fever is a healing response and should be welcomed. In 'olden days' we used to manage the fever and wrap cold wet towels round the children' calves to draw the heat out of the head to prevent convulsion which worked. I did it to my daughter when she had a high temperature, it works!

  4. I am surprised that some people don't know about the benefits of the fever. I think it shows that doctors are not doing a good job at explaining the disease process to patients.. I am actually one of the unfortunate ones who don't get a fever (my immune system is on the weaker side, and my colds usually last a week or longer with no fever at all). I only get a fever when I have flu, bronchitis, or pneumonia (a good sign for me that it is a time to see a doctor 🙂 ). On a different note, now that I take vitamin C and other healthy supplements/herbs, my colds are more rare and much shorter, but still with no fever.

  5. So what should we do when people have a fever like 39 degrees?
    Just put cold wet towel on the head and let the body heal itself? My friend needs help please.

    1. Hi Neo, put some cold wet towels around both calves which will draw the heat out of the head, offer water or herbal teas to drink and natural remedies like Echinacea or propolis every two hours or so. If symptoms persist visit a health practitioner.

  6. Good article. Fever is one of the internal alarms our bodies have to let us know something is wrong, but we have to keep in under control using wet towels in our front head and stomach and drink plenty of water or liquids, and let our body heals itself.
    Thank you for bringing such interesting topic for discussion.
