How do I get rid of a fever in an hour or 2?
Filed Under (Fevers) by drfever
fever
Dr. Spock asked:


8th grade formal is in 2 hours, and I really want to go, but I am down with a fever. How can I tone it down in time for the social?
AWE I picked out my dress and shoes and they cost alot. I don’t want to have to miss it!
I already took a cool shower and I feel a little better but it’s still kind of there.
and I took a two and a half hour nap!

Take some tylenol. But a fever means that your body is fighting off an infection and you need rest. I recommend that you don’t go to your formal.

Take a bath in cool but not cold water. Also tylenol or motrin works well

Take advil, ibuprofen, OR aceteminophen. Not all, just choose one brand of painkillers and take the recommended dose. Get a cool cloth and place it on your forehead and/or neck, having a cool bath helps also to lower your entire body’s temperature. Get some rest because your body is trying to fight something. Try having at least a half hour rest (even if you aren’t asleep) before you go. And most importantly, be VERY conscious of your germs when you are there. It sounds like you are coming down with something, so make sure to wash your hands a lot :) Enjoy your social!

If you have a fever, you have an infection. You can also be infectious. You may have to miss this one – there will be more dances.

Fill your bathtub full of only cold water and put in a bag of ice.
jump in with all your clothes on and don’t squirm your fever is bound to break in the least amount of time approx. 15 minutes.Drink a big cup ofice water. Go have fun at the formal with no problemo.

lots of ibuprofen, cool shower, ice bath. Sleep would be good. You may still feel a little feverish but you should feel well enough to go. Also, if ur tired, a trip to starbucks on the way may help (YAY CAFEIN!)
