Fever, also known pyrexia is a febrile response to an underlying medical condition in the body. Fever is not always bad. Many times it is the way by which the body eliminates bacteria and viruses which cause the underlying conditions.
Fever Symptoms
Rise in body temperature is the most common symptom of fever. Other symptoms of fever depend upon the underlying factors that cause fever. An oral temperature of 102 F should be considered fairly high. Hallucination, irritability and confusion may be caused due to high fever between 103 F to 106 F. Sweating, dehydration, headache, muscle aches, lack of appetite, burning eyes, general weakness and shivering are some other symptoms of fever.

Fever home remedies and natural cures, Questions and answers
Remedies for reducing body temperature
Drink lots of water to compensate for the loss of body fluid. This will also help to reduce the body temperature.
To immediately reduce high body temperature, boil powder of 2 to 3 tsp dry roasted fenugreek seeds. Strain the water and add a drop of ghee to it and drink. Drink juice made out of sweet basil leaves twice or thrice a day. Prepare linden tea by boiling 1 tbsp of linden flower in 1 cup of water and drink it hot. Brew willow bark tea and drink it by taking small sips. Willow bark has some aspirin related compound. If you are not comfortable with it then use black elder.
Remedy for Mild Fever
If the fever is mild, lie on a bed and completely cover yourself with a blanket for 20 minutes. Crush 10 grams of raisins and ginger. Boil them in 200 ml of water till it reduces to 50 ml. Strain and drink this solution warm.

Fruit and Water
suggested by [unspecified] on Wednesday, May 28, 2008

| When my son gets a fever his appetite naturally decreases and I allow him to drink water (not cold) and to eat any fruit that he desires. His fevers usually diminish within 24 hours by simply eating pomegranates (if they are in season), otherwise baby carrots, apples, and grapes work just as well. |
