A fever is a sign that your body is attempting to fight an infection!. Tylenol and ibuprofen work very good at helping bring it down, so try alternating back and forth every 2-4 hours between Tylenol and ibuprofen!. Make sure to try and get plenty of rest, giving your body time to heal itself!. Drink plenty of fluids and try eating ice chips regularly to bring down the fever!. Dress lightly and keep the room temperature between 70 and 74 degrees F!. Use a blanket if you feel cold!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Tylenol is the best way, but if you have already tried that I would wait about 4-6 hours and try Motrin which is also an antipyretic (fever reducer)!. If you temp continues to stay that high without breaking though, I would call your MD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
do you have a cat or small dog!? if so having them lay with you for their body warmth (and company) helps!. drink some hot tea and have some kind of soup, also try to get plenty of sleep!. have the kids stay wth relatives if possible or have your husband take care of them mostly!. get well!Www@Answer-Health@Com
