Treatments and drugs for Fever
For a low-grade fever, your doctor may not recommend treatment to
lower your body temperature. Doing so may prolong the illness or mask
symptoms and make it harder to determine the cause.
Antibiotics don't treat viral infections, but there are a few antiviral drugs used to treat certain viral infections. However, the best treatment for most minor illnesses caused by viruses is often rest and plenty of fluids.
Over-the-counter medications
In the case of a high fever, your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter medication, such as:- Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others). Use these medications according to the label instructions or as recommended by your doctor. Be careful to avoid taking too much. High doses or long-term use of acetaminophen may cause liver or kidney damage, and acute overdoses can be fatal. If your child's fever remains high after a dose, don't give more medication; call your doctor instead. For temperatures below 102 F (38.9 C), don't use fever-lowering drugs unless advised by your doctor.
- Aspirin, for adults only. Don't give aspirin to children, because it may trigger a rare, but potentially fatal, disorder known as Reye's syndrome.
Prescription medications
Depending on the cause of your fever, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic, especially if he or she suspects a bacterial infection, such as pneumonia or strep throat.Antibiotics don't treat viral infections, but there are a few antiviral drugs used to treat certain viral infections. However, the best treatment for most minor illnesses caused by viruses is often rest and plenty of fluids.
Treatment of infants
For infants, especially those younger than 28 days, your baby might need to be admitted to the hospital for testing and treatment. In babies this young, a fever could indicate a serious infection that requires intravenous (IV) medications and round-the-clock monitoring.Lifestyle and home remedies
You can try a number of things to make yourself or your child more comfortable during a fever:- Drink plenty of fluids. Fever can cause fluid loss and dehydration, so drink water, juices or broth. For a child under age 1, use an oral rehydration solution such as Pedialyte. These solutions contain water and salts proportioned to replenish fluids and electrolytes. Pedialyte ice pops also are available.
- Rest. You need rest to recover, and activity can raise your body temperature.
- Stay cool. Dress in light clothing, keep the room temperature cool and sleep with only a sheet or light blanket.
Prevention
You may be able to prevent fevers by reducing exposure to infectious diseases. Here are some tips that can help:- Wash your hands often and teach your children to do the same, especially before eating, after using the toilet, after spending time in a crowd or around someone who's sick, after petting animals, and during travel on public transportation.
- Show your children how to wash their hands thoroughly, covering both the front and back of each hand with soap and rinsing completely under running water.
- Carry moist towelettes or hand sanitizer with you for times when you don't have access to soap and water.
- Try to avoid touching your nose, mouth or eyes, as these are the main ways that viruses and bacteria can enter your body and cause infection.
- Cover your mouth when you cough and your nose when you sneeze, and teach your children to do likewise. Whenever possible, turn away from others when coughing or sneezing to avoid passing germs along to them.
- Avoid sharing cups, water bottles and utensils with your child or children.
8 tips to treat natural way colds and flu
With no cure in sight for the cold or the flu, over-the-counter
treatments can at best bring symptom relief or shorten the duration of those
symptoms. Or you can take the natural approach. WebMD explores some home
remedies that may help you feel better along the way.
No. 1: Blow Your Nose Often -- and the Right Way
It's important to blow your nose
regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head.
But when you blow hard, pressure can cause an earache. The best way to
blow your nose: Press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to
clear the other. Wash your hands after blowing
your nose.
No. 2: Stay Rested
Resting when you first come
down with a cold or the flu helps your body direct its energy toward the immune
battle. This battle taxes the body. So give it a little help by lying down
under a blanket.
No. 3: Gargle
Gargling can moisten a sore throat and bring temporary relief.
Try a teaspoon of salt dissolved in warm water, four times daily. To reduce the
tickle in your throat, try an astringent gargle -- such as tea that contains
tannin -- to tighten the membranes. Or use a thick, viscous gargle made with
honey or a mixture of honey and apple cider vinegar, a popular folk remedy.
Steep one tablespoon of raspberry leaves or lemon juice in two cups of hot
water and mix in one teaspoon of honey. Let the mixture cool to room
temperature before gargling. Honey should never
be given to children under age 1.
No. 4: Drink Hot Liquids
Hot liquids relieve nasal congestion,
help prevent dehydration,
and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed
membranes that line your nose and throat.
No. 5: Take a Steamy Shower
Steamy showers moisturize your nasal passages and relax you. If
you're dizzy from the flu, run a steamy shower while you sit on a chair nearby
and take a sponge bath.
No. 6: Apply Hot or Cold Packs Around Your Congested Sinuses
Either temperature may help you feel more comfortable. You can buy
reusable hot or cold packs at a drugstore. Or make your own. Take a damp
washcloth and heat it for 55 seconds in a microwave (test the temperature first
to make sure it's not scalding). Or take a small bag of frozen peas to use as a
cold pack.
No. 7: Sleep With an Extra Pillow Under Your Head
This will help with the drainage
of nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows
between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope.
No. 8: Don't Fly Unless Necessary
There's no point adding stress to your
already stressed-out upper respiratory system, and that's what the change in
air pressure will do. Flying with cold or flu congestion can hurt your eardrums as a result of pressure
changes during takeoff and landing. If you must fly, use a decongestant and carry a nasal spray with you to use just
before takeoff and landing. Chewing gum and swallowing frequently can also help
relieve pressure.
Remember,
serious conditions can masquerade as the common cold and a mild infection can
evolve into something more serious. If you have severe symptoms or are feeling
sicker with each passing day, see a doctor.
Cold Medicine for Adults
Over-the-counter cold medicines won’t cure your cold, but they
might make you more comfortable, so you can rest as it runs its course. Here's
a look at some common products and what they can do for you.
Stuffy Nose
Decongestants can curb swelling inside your nose and sinuses and
help you breathe more easily. There are two types:
- Pills or syrups. If you see the letter "D" at the end of a medicine's name, it means it includes a decongestant. Look for products with phenylephrine or pseudoephedrine. (You may have to ask for these; they're still considered over-the-counter but are often stored behind the counter.)
- Nasal sprays. Products with oxymetazoline and phenylephrine may work faster than pills or syrups. But you shouldn't use them for more than 2-3 days in a row, or your congestion could get worse.
Don't take both types of decongestant at the same time. Start
with a nasal spray for the first couple of days, and switch to a pill or syrup
if you still need it.
Runny Nose, Watery Eyes, and Sneezing
When you have a cold, your body makes chemicals called
histamines. That leads to sneezing, a runny nose, and watery eyes.
Over-the-counter antihistamines such as chlorpheniramine and
diphenhydramine block this process and can relieve those symptoms. They can
also make you sleepy and dry out your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Cough
Can’t stop coughing? You have two main choices in the
cold-and-flu aisle:
- Cough suppressants, like dextromethorphan, can stop your cough for a short time. They work on the part of the brain that controls coughing.
- Expectorants, like guaifenesin, can break up congestion in your chest by thinning the mucus in your airways. This way, when you do cough, you can get rid of phlegm more easily. Drink plenty of water if you take this medicine.
Fever, Aches, and Sore Throat
These symptoms are usually mild with a cold compared to a more
serious illness, like the flu. Still, if you feel bad and can’t rest, most
experts agree it’s OK to take something to ease pain and lower a fever, like
acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Always check drug labels for side effects, and follow the
instructions for taking the medicine. Make sure it won't interact with any
other medications you're taking or health problems you have. If you’re not
sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Natural Cold Remedies
Maybe you've heard that vitamin C, echinacea, and zinc are good
for a cold.
These don't cure a cold, but vitamin C and zinc may shorten the
length of one. Research on echinacea has been mixed. Before trying these
products, check with your doctor to make sure they’ll work well with other
medicines you’re taking.
Nasal strips can also help you breathe easier, since they can
enlarge nasal passages while you wear them.
Other more traditional remedies might help relieve common cold
discomfort, too.
- Drink plenty of liquids, including chicken soup. It can make you feel better when you have a cold, research shows.
- To relieve a sore throat, gargle with warm salt water, use throat sprays, and suck on ice or lozenges.
- Try a saltwater nasal rinse. These can help with a stuffy or runny nose, studies show.
- Use petroleum jelly on your nose if it’s irritated from constant blowing. Facial tissue with added lotions can help prevent, and heal, redness and soreness.
- Use a humidifier to help break up phlegm.
When you have a cold, do what you can to make yourself as
comfortable as possible, and rest while your body fights the virus.
