High fever is a symptom that can have many causes, but it can be reduced with a few simple methods. But first, you need to share some important information:
How long has the high fever been going on?
Do you have other complaints besides the fever? (for example, headache, sore throat, cough, nausea, diarrhea, etc.)
Have you experienced similar situations before?
Do you have any chronic diseases or regularly used medications?
Have you been at risk of catching an infection recently? (travel, history of illness, etc.)
If you can share this information, I can give you better guidance. Now let's move on to general fever-reducing suggestions:
Plenty of Fluids: Drinking fluids such as water, herbal teas, and light soups prevents the body from dehydrating.
Check the Room Temperature: Make sure that the room is cool but not too cold. Ventilating the room is also good.
Clothing and Bedding: Wearing light clothing and avoiding very thick blankets can help control fever.
Warm Shower or Washcloth: Taking a warm shower or taking a washcloth soaked in warm water and placing it on your wrists can help.
Rest: It is important to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that will strain your body.
Now I should determine the possible branches you should visit based on your medical history:
