Whats the best treatment of fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't panic: Not sure what you consider a fever, but fever alone does not need 'treatment' - it is a symptom. Your body makes a temperature to fight off germs, both bacteria and virus, that cause infections. The fever actually helps your immune system work better. Keep yourself well hydrated, as a temperature causes you to need more fluids. See doc in next few days if fever doesn;t go away or other symptoms.
