Fever- Do... * Take acetaminophen (which is found in Tylenol) as directed to lower your fever temporarily until the illness makes its way through your system. * Drink plenty of liquids. A fever can cause perspiration, and if you don’t replenish those fluids, you could become dehydrated.
Don’t... * Try to work through it. Going to the gym or out for drinks with friends can further stress your body and hamper recovery. * Cool your skin with ice packs when you overheat; ice can actually burn your skin. Use a cold washcloth instead.
Call your doctor if… * You have a fever that’s over 101 degrees Fahrenheit, you have a headache and neck pain, or your fever doesn’t break after two solid days. Most fevers are viral and go away in a day or two. But in some cases a fever could be the sign of something more serious, like a kidney infection, pneumonia, or meningitis.
