Fevers occur as a result of the body fighting off an infection. The body’s temperature rises to try to kill off the infection to help the person feel better, so it is important. However, it can be dangerous if the fever gets to be too high or if it lasts too long. Those who want relief from a fever may want to consider the different remedies available to help them. 

Staying Hydrated and Avoiding Certain Drinks

The key to handling a fever is to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of liquids can help keep the body from getting dehydrated. It is a good idea to avoid drinks that have a lot of caffeine, as they may not help as much and can make the person more dehydrated. Instead, opt for water, drinks with electrolytes, and teas. Some homeopathic fever remedies can be made into a tea to help with fever relief, but it is important to check carefully before using them to make sure they’re safe to ingest. 

Bryonia

Bryonia is a homeopathic remedy that can help with fevers to provide relief. Also known as false mandrake or wild hops, this can be a good way to get rid of a fever as well as to get help with coughing and other symptoms. It is important to look into the options carefully before using Bryonia for a fever, as taking it internally can induce vomiting or be used as a laxative. It should be diluted to help prevent these potential side effects. If too much is taken, the person may need emergency medical care, so it is important to be cautious with its use. 

Rhus Toxicodendron

Rhuis Toxicodendron is the species of plants that includes poison ivy and poison oak, but it can be helpful in preventing fevers. It is important to be careful, as touching the plant can cause a severe allergic reaction. However, when it is diluted, it can be used to help treat fevers and may help someone feel better faster. It can also be used for skin issues, flu and cold symptoms, and digestive issues. It is important to check product labels before use to make sure it is diluted and is not going to cause side effects or interact with other medications. 

Avoid Ice Baths and Covering Up

Knowing what to avoid is as important as knowing what to do to help with a fever and recover faster. When someone has a fever, it’s not a good idea to give them an ice bath. This can rapidly lower the person’s temperature, which can shock the system and may lead to hypothermia. It’s better to take a lukewarm bath to prevent this and keep the body hydrated. It’s also not a good idea to sweat out the fever by covering up in heavy blankets. This can raise the person’s temperature more and make the fever worse. 

If you’re suffering from a fever, it’s important to make sure you do the right things to help your body recover without making it worse. Look into the different homeopathic remedies to learn more about each of them, how to take them safely, and more. Don’t forget to also drink plenty of water and avoid ice baths or other remedies that are not going to help. Always get help from a doctor if needed to recover faster and prevent dangerous side effects or other concerns.
