First, drink more water, preferably plain water, using a large cup to hold it until he can no longer drink. So far, he has urinated many times, and a small part of the virus has already been expelled from his body.You can also use a physical cooling method: pour warm water, soak a towel in it, and wipe your body, especially your forehead, armpits, palms, and soles of your feet.
If the fever is high but not above 38.5°C, it’s best to go to the hospital to find out the cause. Then, take the medicine prescribed by the hospital. Generally, fever is divided into wind-cold and wind-heat types, and different cold remedies can be taken accordingly. If the fever is caused by inflammation, you can also take some antibiotics. This depends on the doctor’s diagnosis.
Once the fever and inflammation are treated, the fever will naturally subside.
