The Dhaka Times Desk If the body is bad, it is normal to take medicine as per the doctor's advice. But many people start taking handfuls of medicine when they have a little fever. But you know what? Viral fever can be cured without taking a handful of medicine?
If there is a slight fever, many people buy and eat known medicines from the store. But this practice is not good at all. It is not a good idea to take medicine in haste.
Due to the change in the weather, a bit of cold is now seen in every house. However, it is difficult to understand whether this fever is common viral or not corona virus. No matter what the fever is, unless it is too severe, one should not run to the doctor first. In case of common fever, many people take medicine to reduce fever without doctor's advice.
In this regard, experts say, the practice of taking this medicine without the doctor's advice is not good at all. The reason is that most of the medicines have some side effects even if the fever goes down immediately. This habit can bring danger in your life in future.
Fever is not actually a disease. Generally, body temperature rises when there is an infection in the body. It is not necessary to take medication all the time to reduce the infection. If the body temperature exceeds 101 degrees Fahrenheit, or if you feel very cold, have pain in your head or body, then you must consult a doctor. But if it is not so uncomfortable, then some simple methods will bring the temperature under control.
Drink plenty of fluids during this time
Body temperature rises when you have a fever - that is normal. At this time I do not want to drink water at all. Hence water deficiency occurs in the body. However, the doctors said that the body should be kept moist during this time. So even if you don't want to drink water, you can eat hot soup, stew, herbal tea etc. Try to keep the body moist by consuming fruit juice, ORS etc. when the fever subsides.
Get enough rest
The first medicine to cure any disease is adequate rest. At least 8 to 9 hours of sleep per day is essential. Even if you do not have a fever, you must refrain from heavy work for at least a week. No exercise or yoga can be done during this time. If you follow these rules, common fever will be cured. But still if the fever does not go away then the doctor's advice should be taken.
