Preparation
Step 1
Your body is fighting an infection so rest is important to over coming it! So lots of rest is best. Aspirin can have serious side effects with a fever so avoid it especially with children.
Lots of room temp fluids are must and these seem to assist in bringing the fever down quicker than any others I have found.
Drink 1: mix a cup of room temp water with a cup of grape juice and drink as much as you can at a time.
When drink 1 is completed try adding drink 2: 4 cups of room temp water with a 1/2 t cayenne pepper dissolved in it and a cup of orange juice added to it. If your able drink the entire quart during the day.
Adult or child a room temp bath can also be helpful and comforting.
If your child refuses to drink and claims non thirst or their temp raises over 102-103 or they display any other symptoms pls seek medical assistance immediately.
For an adult a fever over 101 can require medical attention.
