Answer 2

I would drink allot of water, Gatorade and juices. I wouldn't drink milk or any dairy products it will clabber or sour on your stomach. Don't be eating greasy foods make you sick to. Try something light like crackers, soup, and Popsicle are the best when you have a fever. It hydrates and cools you off at the same time. I hope you start feeling better. And old saying feed a cold starve a fever.

Answer 3

I would stick to bland foods & no dairy. Drink lots of fluids & no sodas, because your body will have a tendency to get dehydrated while it is running a fever. A burger would be fine, I guess, if your stomach isn't upset. Drink lots of water.

Answer 4

There are no diet limitations when you have a fever. There are no foods that will cause a fever or raise a fever so you are safe to eat whatever you feel like eating.

Answer 5

Here are a few remedies to help.

Cause
Fever is not a disease but a condition in the body wherein the balance of circulation has become disturbed. This is nature's way of trying to burn out the toxic poisons. When the body becomes exposed to excessive chilling or dampness, the capillaries near the surface contract and the pores close by becoming obstructed with body waste matter. This results in a containment of body heat and a sudden rise of body temperature. In fever the natural body function is to increase the heat to a point wherein the thick glutinous and fibrinous matters loading and congesting the system are made liquid enough to pass through the fine and delicate excretory membranes and tubules.

Herbal Aids
1.General Instructions: If the fever is from cold or flu, eliminate the mucoid condition and eliminate the problem. Raspberry, and other sweetening herbs, are very beneficial. Raise the body heat with moisture, a stimulant and diaphoretic herbs so the restricted blood vessels relax, the obstructed pores open, and the morbid material washes out in the subsequent profuse perspiration.

2.Echinacea: Drink sufficient of the hot tea to induce diaphoresis, and administer hourly thereafter until the system is relieved of stagnated wastage.

3.See formula for the Four Greater Cold Seeds remedy for catarrhal affections, bowel and urinary disorders, fever, etc. using pumpkin seeds, ground seeds, watermelon seeds and cucumber seeds.

4.Camomile: Colds, bilious fever. Give a warm infusion with a little ginger added.

5.Boneset: Influenza, colds, fevers, etc. Give the patient 1/2-1 teacupful hot, every hour until freely perspiring and the fever begins to subside- then give in smaller dose as a tonic (cold) every 2-3 hours and keep closely-covered in bed 24-48 hours until all signs of the fever are gone.

6.Cold Sheet Treatment: A fever is given to a person to assist in healing the body which has an over-case of toxicity which is causing a disease (lack of ease). Fever is like a fire, which can warm your body and save your life, or burn your house down and kill you. If the fever is properly controlled and skillfully handled it will clean the poisons, toxins and surplus mucus from the body and bring on a healing crisis. If not controlled properly the fever can kill the patient. See the instructions for the nine step Cold Sheet Treatment.

7.When a Fever Just Gets Started: it can be cleared up very easily, if these following procedures are started early. One of the most simple remedies is to stop the use of all foods and beverages, take a high herbal enema (catnip is good) and drink only red raspberry tea. Between cups of this tea, distilled water may be used, and if desired, give some good organic (natural) Vitamin C. Drink several quarts of red raspberry tea during the day, but no solid foods. The running nose, fever, headache and weariness will soon leave and one will feel like a new person. Even after feeling greatly improved, continue on with the red raspberry leaf tea all that day and well into the next day. If an adult will stay on the tea for three days, it would do a wonderful cleansing job for the body. To make red raspberry leaf tea put one heaping teaspoonful of cut or granulated (powdered) raspberry leaves into a teacup. Fill the cup with boiling distilled water, cover and let stand in a warm place for five or ten minutes. Strain, and drink it while it is very warm (You may use an ounce of red raspberry leaves to a pint of distilled water, if desiring to make up more at a time).


2.Yarrow for Dr. Christopher's Daughter: Two years ago while away at a summer camp my daughter caught a severe cold. When I went to the island for the weekend I found her in bed with a high temperature, headache, and the general symptoms of influenza or la grippe, the body aching and in a most restless condition. I had noted some yarrows growing a little distance from our cottage and went and gathered a handful. I did not weigh it. I had no scales. It was not necessary. It was not a harmful drug. I placed a bunch of the whole plant in a jug and poured over it about one and a half pints of boiling water, covered it for about five minutes, then poured off a cupful of the warm tea. I gave this to my patient who, by the way, insisted that she would vomit if I made her drink the whole of it. I merely told her that if the stomach rejected it, the result would be a cleaner stomach for the next dose. She drank the cupful, I went into the kitchen and poured off a second cupful of the warm tea and gave this to the patient. She got it all down, and in a few minutes was perspiring freely. In half an hour she informed me she felt better and in the morning she was completely recovered. You ask me what would I have done if there had been no yarrows there. I would have looked for sage, peppermint, hyssop or any other of the half a dozen other herbs which will do the work.

3.Discovery of the Powers of Peruvian Bark for Fevers: The story is told that an Indian was cast out from his tribe when he had a high fever; a jungle fever that was thought by tribal associates to be highly contagious and fatal. And, as was their custom, he was cast out from among his people, and it was believed that he would soon die. But, as he crawled on his hands and knees through the dense jungle, in a state of delirium and trying to find water (as his fever had him to the point where he was literally dying from thirst), he found a pool of water. A tree had fallen into the pool and the water was very bitter, yet he was thirsty enough that he didn't care--it was water! After a short time, the fever left. So he went back to his tribal friends and loved ones, to their great astonishment, and he told them about the miraculous powers in the "healing waters" that had saved his life. So these Indians discovered the source of these bitter waters and to use the bark thereafter for fevers and other afflictions, and they found it to be marvelously healing. And from here, the fame of this great bitter, yet curative herb spread abroad, with many other effective cures resulting.

Best of health to you.

Cheers
