3 Things To Avoid During Fever

Recently i was attacked by flu and was down with sudden fever for two days. In order to get well soon i had visited a doctor and he managed to give me some tips which usually we all do not follow during
fever or rather we do not know these things.  It is recommended** to avoid the below things during fever in order to help you heal quickly.

1.Avoid putting on blanket during Fever


Blankets are meant to keep you warm and during fever body is already warm enough.  Blankets will increase the body temperature thereby causing more problems so strictly avoid blankets.  If you are feeling cold, switch off AC or Fans or put on light cotton cloth to cover your body

2.Do not apply vicks or taking steam


Again the same concept! Vicks are used during cold to provide heat to the body.  During fever strictly avoid vicks or taking steam.  Once fever is subsides you can take steam or apply vicks but during fever, do not use them.

3. Avoid hot water bath


No no for hot water bath.  Rather you can sponge yourself with lukewarm water(more cold less hot)  in order to clean yourself.

**Disclaimer : These tips are given by Doctors but we advice you to always consult your doctor first before using any tips.  DailyStuff.org is not responsible for any conditions thereafter.  Do not perform any activities without Doctor's consultation.
