Fever
• Drink lots of fluids.
• You want to lower your temperature gradually, so take a lukewarm, not cold, shower or bath.
• Dress in loose, comfortable clothing and cover lightly if necessary.
• Keep room well-ventilated, but avoid drafts.
• Rest.
• Take two 325 mg acetaminophen(Tylenol) every 4 hours. No aspirin or ibuprofen (Motrin /Advil).
• If a fever of 101º or greater doesn't respond to these measures or continues for more than 10-12 hours, call us.
