What Causes of Common Fever?

There are many causes of fever in medical science. But In the common fever, where there are no complications or where the accurate causes is not known to specialists still now, except the body temperature goes ahead of bearable limits, no medication is essential because such a fever might be the way of nature to get free of the various poisonous elements accumulated in the body. In the modern age, being used to an ease-loving life and habits, people trick to the doctor the moment they discover that their temperature goes a little above the normal. But the Hakim/doctor and specialist in Ayurveda in the past, when the modern medical system has not made inroads into our life, frowned on immediate medicine for a fever, they simply advised the patient to fast and take nothing, but water for a couple of days. The patient normally cures of the fever in 48 to 72 hours and was none the worse for this problem. Videlicet, none face the dangerous problem by effecting from common fever. It is just a simple problem.

4. Powder of the leaves of Indrani is also a beneficial treatment for common fever. You can use these remedies for common fever at home. I am sure you will get the successful result and cure fever completely.

Consultation for Common Fever

There are some common and the most helpful consultation and suggestion for the common fever patient. Besides taking the herbal treatment for fever, it should nurse the patient and provides these consultations. Sometimes, the fever cures with these consultations only. So, these consultations are very useful for fever patients. These are described in the below:

1. If Common Fever is not going to the hazardous position which has some dangerous signs and symptoms such as “a closing glottis in diphtheria”, at that time it should not be interfered with for the first three days.

2. If it does not fall down after that or goes ahead of controllable limits, for example, if the body temperature threatens to increase over 106°F should be taken to bring it back to normal position.

3. If the body temperature of a fever patient increases, it will be the very first and completely secure thing is to bathe the head and forehead of the fever patient with cold water as much as possible in which little vinegar has been mixed.

4. And in the same way, if the body temperature of fever patient is about 103°F, at this position, cold compresses must be continued at the patient's head.

5. If the fever or body temperature increases and reaches to 106°F, immediate emergency will have to take measures. Immediately it will have to remove the wearing clothes from the patient's body and he should be covered with a cotton sheet wetted with cold water and cover the body with a blanket. The cotton sheet must be changed after each ten to fifteen minutes. After taking this consultation the body temperature of the patient would start falling down.

6. Or, if the temperature does not fall down, the patient must be bathed in cold water and aired in the body with a high speed fan. When the temperature will fall down to 103°F, at that time only cold compress would continue on the heat and the forehead of the patient. And, at the first stage of falling temperature, cold compresses must also be stopped. But after a few times it can continue with patient’s requirement.

Diet for Common Fever Patient

Doctors/Hakim provides a caution to the patient suffering from typhoid fever not to take any hard diet or hard to digest foods. But in other fever such as common fever, Influenza, Pneumonia, Plague fever, Diphtheria, Dengue fever, etc. this precaution is no need to follow. Unfortunately, the most of the patient does not try to follow this caution. They would take any impatient foods and diet. For this reason it can create a harmful situation in their body any time.

Only fruit juices can be the best diet for a patient suffering from fever. It is only allowed diet for patient during the fever. Lemon Juice in a glass of water with a little salt can be given to him.

The patient must drink water or liquid things (juice, glucose, gruel) as much as possible he can take, because the fever temperature dries up the liquid things of the human body. If the patient does not take enough liquid things, for this lack of liquids can be lead to dehydration disease, which is dissimilar to grip than the common fever.
