hELLO, Drink as much water as you can in order to replace fluid loss. It will also help to bring down body temperature.
2:Rest as much as possible.
3:Avoid suddenly changes in atmospheric temperatures.
4:Avoid eating solid foods until the fever is gone. You can replace the foods by drinking plenty of distilled water and/or juices.
5:when you have fever do not take any supplement containing either iron or zinc. Taking iron causes great tension in a body that is fighting infection; and zinc is not absorbed by the body when you have fever.
6:Take cool bathes, fill a bath tub, submerge and lay down for 5' approximately. Repeat as needed until the fever is down.
7:If the fever does not exceed 102 degrees let it run its course. It helps the body to fight infection and eliminate to. 8:When a child has fever do not give them aspirin, instead try to reduce the fever with cold baths. Regards,
