Answers:

It depends how serious it is, how old he is, what caused it and how healthy he usually is.

Fever is an elevation in body temperature. It's the body's protective mechanism against infection. The elevation in temperature happens when our immune system is fighting off bacteria and viruses that could harm our body. Fever is our strongest weapon in the fight against infections or diseases.

Normal body temperature ranges from 97 to 99 degrees Fahrenheit, but varies throughout the day. Usually is lower in the early morning and higher in late afternoon. A fever is consider to be any temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. One should get concern when temperature raises above 102 degrees Fahrenheit for an adult and 103 degrees Fahrenheit for children. Often, having high temperature is helpful for the body; it's the way the body acts to destroy harmful microbes. In an adult temperatures under 103 degrees fahrenheit encourage the body to create more immune cells. A fever of 104 or higher can be a risk for people with cardiac problems, When a person has had a fever over 100 degrees for more than 2 days needs a physical examination.

Drink as much water as you can in order to replace fluid loss. It will also help to bring down body temperature.

Rest as much as possible.

Avoid suddenly changes in atmospheric temperatures.

Avoid eating solid foods until the fever is gone. You can replace the foods by drinking plenty of distilled water and/or juices.

If the fever does not exceed 102 degrees let it run its course. It helps the body to fight infection and eliminate toxins.

When a child has fever do not give them aspirin.

squeeze oranges 2-3 in a glass, add hot water and some lemon juice also peel a couple of cloves of Garlic and soak in a dessert spoon of honey disolved in hot water add that to the drink. Experiment with ingredients a liitle so it's not too distasteful.

If you have Chamomille tea prepare that and add the honey and garlic mixture and some lemon juice.

Sponge bath with WARM water NOT Cold, add some lavender essential oil, 3-5 drops to the sponge bathing water.

Echinacea tincture - take as directed

And ... there's always Pamol
