An acupuncturist may be able to relieve your fever by using needles in your ear (and other parts of your body) - quite painless and drug free.

A fever is a sign that your body is attempting to fight an infection. Help your body fight the fever and bring you back to health again in the following ways.


STEP 1: Get plenty of rest.

STEP 2: Drink plenty of fluids. Suck on an ice cube or flavored ice, or drink iced fruit juice or chilled clear broth.

STEP 3: Dress lightly and keep the room temperature between 70 and 74 degrees F. Use a blanket if you feel cold. STEP 4: Take anti-fever medicines only when necessary. For adults, use acetaminophen, aspirin or ibuprofen.

STEP 4: Spread lip balm or petroleum jelly over the lips during the fever and for several days thereafter, since lips often crack and split during a fever.

Tips & Warnings

For adults, a fever higher than 101 degrees F or a fever that is greater than 101 degrees F at its onset is cause for medical attention.
Ice packs can be placed in the groin and armpit areas when an adult has a very high fever, but consult your doctor first.
Call your doctor or emergency room if a high fever is accompanied by a stiff neck, difficulty breathing, confusion, lethargy, delirium or convulsions, or a cough with colored sputum.
Never use alcohol for a rubdown. The fumes are toxic, and alcohol is absorbed through the skin. Use lukewarm water.

Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, Alleve, etc. If you are over 20 aspirin also can be used. Drink a lot of water and other caffeine-free beverages--don't drink milk.

If you're getting a lot of headaches and fevers you should go to the doctor - you could have Strep Throat, Tonsilitis, Meningitis, or any number of other things that require antibiotics.

luckily tylenol can fix both of these problems. tylenol is a known fever reducer and it is also a pain killer.
however if you frequently have these problems I suggest you consult a doctor since this could be indicative of a more serious underlying problem.
