You don't want to HEAL a fever. A fever means your body is fighting some virus. Best way to get over it quickly is drink lots of fluids, take some medicine and get LOTS and LOTS of sleep/rest. Asprin usually helps reduce a fever.
Feel better soon!

If you feel unusually hot, you probably have a fever. In fact, you may have the flu if your headache is that bad. As far as elevated temperatures go, you should not try and reduce your fever until it has reached 101 degrees. It is only at 101 degrees that the immune system is triggered to start producing T-cells which are the ones responsible for fighting infection. Fever has it's good points see? People that take Tylenol or aspirin constantly when sick are doing themselves a disservice as far as getting better. Unfortunately, if you have a virus, which it sounds like, you will just have to treat the symptoms such as your headache and let it run its' course. Viral infections cannot be treated with antibiotics or any other medication at this time. I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon. Also, don't forget to take in plenty of fluids - preferably water (no dairy products when feverish.) And eat. Remember the old adage: "Feed a fever - starve a cold?" Works the same with all illnesses that cause fever and other miserable side effects.

Actually a fever is good because it is trying to fight off the infection in your body, that is why you have a fever. When you are that miserable, take ibruprofen or tylonol. It will help. You may need to be seen by a doctor if you dont get better in a few days.

Simple, A Fever cant really be healed, you have to wait for it to pass, but take a tylenol and just go to sleep and see if that helps you. It does for me.It will also help your headache.

It doesn't heal fever. Who told you that? It is not a medicine and it just relieves stress and that's all it can do.
