Tips for Reducing a Fever Without Medication
Fever is an indication of underlying health issues, so it's important to seek medical advice if you're concerned. If needed, there are several effective ways to reduce a fever without medication.
Rest
Getting plenty of rest is essential for helping the body to fight off any underlying infections that may be causing the fever. Make sure to get enough fluids and sleep, and avoid unnecessary physical activity.
Cool Baths and Clothing
Lowering your body temperature is an effective way to reduce a fever without medication. Have a cool bath or shower and change into light clothing, and make sure to keep yourself hydrated. Avoid using ice baths, as a sudden decrease in your body temperature isn’t recommended.
Room Temperature
Keep the temperature in your room comfortable. If the room feels too hot, open a window or turn on a fan.
Other Tips
- Sipping clear fluids such as water.
- Rubbing alcohol on your wrists, armpits, and the soles of your feet.
- Taking a break from your fever with an acoustic relaxation technique like music, positive affirmations, or deep breathing.
- Using a cool compress on your forehead or chest.
