Health Tips on Fever Management

You may lower fever by applying sponge bath ("punas") using tap water place in a container for about 5-10 minutes(to be at room temperature). Do not use alcohol ,ice , cold bath to cool the skin since these may make the situation worse by causing shivering or chills that may increase the core body temperature.

Health Tips on Fever Medications

Give only Paracetamol for fever especially if you are not sure of the cause or origin of the high body temperature since it may be due to Dengue Fever. Never give NSAIDs which includes Aspirin, Ibuprofen(Dolan etc..), Mefenamic Acid(Ponstan,Dolfenal etc..) Naproxen (Flanax etc.) because NSAIDs inhibit blood clotting which may worsen bleeding in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever.
