Fever Causes

In most cases a fever is caused by an underlying illness or infection. As the immune system fights off an infection, it generates heat, which results in an increased body temperature. In addition, the hypothalamus (that acts as the body’s thermostat) increases the body’s base-line temperature.

This raised body temperature assists the immune system in ridding the body of illness as the viruses and bacteria that cause them thrive in cooler environments and generally cannot withstand high temperature. The causes of a fever may range widely from common teething in infants and a bout of flu, to more serious conditions such as pneumonia, glandular fever, sunburn and heatstroke.

They may even occur as a result of certain medications including some antibiotics, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, and anti-seizure drugs. It is therefore always important to monitor a fever and seek medical attention if it increases rapidly, or persists, so that a correct diagnosis can be achieved.

Tips for Fever

1. Make sure you monitor your child’s fever closely. This can be done by checking your child’s temperature at least every 4 hours until it has completely subsided.
2. Guard against dehydration by ensuring your child drinks plenty of fluids and make sure these do not contain caffeine.
3. A lukewarm bath or sponge bath will help to cool down a high fever but never use cold water or ice.
4. Encourage plenty of bed rest as moving around raises body temperature even more. This can be tricky with children that get frustrated when confined to bed, so you may have to think creatively. Try quiet activities such as coloring, game books, books on tape and playing cards.
5. Dress your child in light cotton pajamas so that body heat can escape and do not bundle your child up at bedtime.

Fever Home Remedies

1. Boiling root powder in water to prepare a concentrate (1 cup reduced to ½) could be taken, with a little sugar added, daily morning on the empty stomach.
2. Prepare sharbat by boiling by some tamarind pulp in half liter of milk and adding some dates, cloves, sugar, cardamoms and a very little camphor. It lessens the fever.
3. Use Peepal leaves as laxative and tonic. They relieve feverish feeling of coolness.
4. The bark of Tamarind acts as an astringent, a tonic and it reduces fever. Use the bark as laxative.
