1. Replenish fluids
When you feel hot, your body will sweat to dissipate heat. But if you lose most of your water-for example, when you have a high fever-your body will close the sweat glands to prevent further water loss. This makes it more difficult for you to deal with the fever. The solution is to replenish liquid. Besides boiled water, doctors prefer the following drinks.
2. Wet compress
Wet compress helps to lower the body temperature. Hot wet compress can reduce fever. However, when the patient feels uncomfortable with the heat, cold and wet compress should be used instead. Put a wet and cold towel on your forehead, wrist and calf, and cover other parts with clothes.
3. Take a bath
"Whenever I have a fever, I often start to tremble. At this time, a warm bath is the most comfortable. "
4. Don't bear the pain
If you feel very uncomfortable, you can take painkillers.
5. Appropriate amount of clothes
Use common sense to judge how much clothes to wear. If you are very hot, take off too much clothes so that the heat in your body can be emitted. But if you shiver, you should wrap yourself in clothes until it is not cold.
6. Adjust the indoor temperature
Create a ward atmosphere as much as possible to facilitate the recovery of patients. Don't make the room temperature too high. German doctors usually advise not to exceed 18.3C C.. At the same time, the room should be properly ventilated to help recovery, but no ventilation equipment should be used. And keep soft light, so that patients can relax.
7. Eat if you want
During the fever, there is no need to worry about what to eat or what not to eat.
