How to deal with a fever.

Fever is the body's response to an underlying illness. Fever is typically brought on by a viral illness, and the body raises its temperature to help the virus leave the body because high temperatures will cause the virus to perish.

Here are some helpful tips on how to deal with fever:

• Drink lots of water to keep your body well hydrated.

• Take enough rest to prevent the body temperature from rising.

• Wear comfortable, light clothing in the event of a fever.

• Compress with lukewarm water and take fever relievers.

• Take medication such as paracetamol to help bring down the fever.

If your fever persists, please schedule an appointment so we can get to the root of the problem and treat the cause.
