Cure for Fever

A fever occurs when the body temperature is abnormally high. Most of the time, the body temperature rises in an attempt to burn off some type of bug or toxin. Fevers can be triggered by viral or bacterial infections of many kinds. You can think of a fever as your friend, helping you to burn off foreign invaders. Herbs will help you assist your fever and can fast-forward you to recovery.
The body temperature rises and falls an average of 1.5F during the course of a day, based on a person’s activity level, diet, anxiety, and clothing. As a guideline, you can consider the possibility of fever when your temperature reaches between 99F and 100F. If your temperature is 100F or over, you can be sure it’s a fever. If you have any of the following conditions characterizing a fever, consult your physician immediately:

• Fever persisting more than five days could indicate a persistent or severe infection that is beyond home treatment.
• Fever in a child less than four months old: They are more susceptible to seizures.
• Fever accompanied by a sore, stiff neck could be a sign of meningitis, where an infection has entered the brain—a life-threatening condition.
• Fever of more than 105F: If home treatments fail to bring down a temperature something serious may be going on that your body cannot handle without intervention.
• Any fever above 105F can lead to brain damage.
