How do I lower a fever of 101?!


Question: How do I lower a fever of 101!?
I had pneumonia according to one doctor, according to another I have bronchitis!. Either way, I feel miserable, haven't been able to keep anything down, I'm terribly cold but I just took my temperature and it's 101!. I've never really had a high temperature that I can remember and I don't know what to do, I covered myself with blankets and I've put ice in a bag on my forehead to cool it off!. The pressure in my head feels like it moves wherever the bag is, but I've been doing this for three hours and my temperature hasn't lessened, hasn't gotten worse!. Thank youWww@Answer-Health@Com

hey pal, if your temperature is 101, you would have DIED man!. Imagine your head like the boiling point of water, does your head really feels that hot!? Get a new thermometer as yours is 100% faulty!. Also, should should not face the COMPUTER ESPECIALLY and the TV, as that would cause your temperature to increase, drink lots of water, and gets lots of rest!. Do light exercise every day and take lots of fruits!. Hope that helps! :)
