🌡️ Home Remedies for Fever (बुखार के घरेलू उपाय)

Most fevers are caused by viral infections and improve within 2–5 days with rest, hydration, and supportive care. The goal is to keep the patient comfortable while monitoring for signs of serious illness.

🇬🇧 English

✅ 1. Drink Plenty of Fluids

• Water
• ORS (if dehydrated)
• Coconut water
• Lemon water
• Clear soups

Why? Fever increases fluid loss and can cause dehydration.

✅ 2. Take Adequate Rest

• Sleep 7–9 hours.
• Avoid strenuous activities until the fever subsides.

✅ 3. Eat Light, Nutritious Foods

Choose easily digestible foods such as:

• Khichdi
• Dal soup
• Rice
• Vegetable soup
• Fruits (banana, apple, orange if tolerated)

✅ 4. Lukewarm Sponging

• Use lukewarm (not cold) water if the temperature is above 102°F (38.9°C) and the person is uncomfortable.
• Avoid ice water or alcohol rubs.

✅ 5. Wear Light Clothing

• Wear loose cotton clothes.
• Keep the room comfortably cool and well ventilated.

✅ 6. Herbal Drinks (Optional)

Warm drinks may provide comfort:

• Ginger tea
• Tulsi (holy basil) tea
• Honey with warm water (avoid honey in children under 1 year)

These may help with symptoms but do not cure the infection.

✅ 7. Fever Medicines (When Needed)

If fever is causing discomfort:

• Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) is generally the preferred medicine when appropriate for age and health status.
• Avoid aspirin in children because of the risk of Reye syndrome.
