Fever Cure

Hi guys, its late here and ive been sick as a dog all day, now this fever has come on, im shaking like a rattlesnake, cold then bloody hot. I took some paracetamol but its not working, anythign you know can quick fix it so i can go to sleep and stop watchign this Inco doco on tv?

Aren't you supposed to 'feed a fever, starve a cold'? Whenever I have a fever I just curl up under two duvets after taking a couple of paracetemol, so that I get hot - after a couple of hours I start feeling better and would drift off to sleep. I don't advise taking a cold bath, because afterwards you'll get out, get dressed and curl up in bed where you'll get warm - such big temperature changes will only make you feel worse. Maybe you should just go to bed with a hot water bottle - I'm sure you'll feel better by the morning.

Oh yeah, my Dad's a doctor and he gave me this advice - it's what I've always done since I was little and it hasn't failed me yet. Anyhows, I hope you feel better soon.

chicken soup. works every time.
