Real fast? Bath in Ice Water.\n\nIf you have 1/2 hour to 1 hour to spare, It's much more comfortable to just take some tylenol.

you are not infected by cold.\nOnly flu spreed more quickly when is cold.\nTake pills

heat up some olive oil, not too hot, in the microwave. then take a damp cloth and rub it for like 5 mins, it helps a lot and goes away quicker

According to my professors in medical school the critical point to start treating fever is 103 farenheit.  Otherwise, it is safe to let it burn.  You see, this is one way to let the body take some of the resources that the pathogen would like to use, out of their hands.  Enzymes denature at higher temperatures...enzymes that the bacteria or viruses use to reproduce or create toxins.\n\nIf you decide to treat your fever you should use the classic anti-pyretics (anti-fever).  Tylenol for instance.  Dont use too much.  Monitor your fever and if it gets too high then go to the emergency room.

My first advise, let your daughter's immune system deal with it. If her temperature goes too high you can help her reducing it with cold water or some icebags (wrapped with a towel). You don't want to suddenly stop the fever because this would give the chance to get another infection like this later on.\nIf your daughter doesn't get better in the next few days I'd ask your doctor for a full blood test. Paracetamol (Tylenol for Americans) is a good pill to reduce fever since is not as strong other fever reducers. However, taking if taking it for some days doesn't help something can be wrong. \nI would usually stick to what the doctor says since he must be used to this types of fevers caused by the totally different bacteria that lives in that region compared to the one you had in the place you used to live before.\nBy the way, I'm assuming that your daughter (and all your family) received all the vaccines that are advised in order to prevent any diseases present in the rainforest (specially the yellow fever).\nAnyways, after your daughter goes through this fever, I'm sure that her immune system will be much stronger.\nGood luck.

1.) Fill sink with hot water, add 2 tablespoons of Vicks vaporub, lean over sink, put towel over head, breathe deeply. \n2.) Microwave beanbag filled with flax seed and lavender (available at most bath & bed stores) put it on the back of your neck, or on your forehead, be careful though, it'll be HOT!\n3.) Mint tea, a little honey, a little lemon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper!\n4.) Get a humidifier and put it near the bed\n5.) Take a long hot shower or bath\n6.) LOTS of water and gatorade, flushing the body with water helps everything "move along" especially unwanted snot. \n7.) Put Vicks or Mentholatum under your nose\n8.) Bed rest, your body heals while it rests. \n9.) Try the Neti Pot (link below)\n10.) Saline nasal spray or drops\n11.)Avoid over-the-counter antihistamines, these dry you out, which makes the cold last longer\n12.)Oral decongestants like Sudafed can be used, but be sure to drink lots of water, and don't use it if you have thyroid problems or heart issues, it's kind of like taking speed!\n13.) Don't use antibiotics to treat a cold. Antibiotics aren't effective in combating a virus. The common cold is caused by a virus. Using antibiotics unnecessarily could lead to antibiotic resistance in the future.\n14.) Cough suppressants may be used safely for a cough. (Use the “DM” variety if the cough is dry). However, coughing is a natural defense mechanism to protect your lungs, so use these medications sparingly.\nHope all this helps! Feel better!

Your thinking is logical. As far as I know there are no treatments for colds because if it's viral there are no medications, if it's bacterial antibiotics won't help anyway because the bacteria have already released their toxins and caused all this discomfort. \nDoctors sometimes prescribe antibiotics as a prophylaxy, to prevent other bacteria from attacking an already weakened immune system.\nJust go with lots of rest, lots of fluids and keep him warm and cosy and he'll be up in no time!\nHowever if fever is over 104 and symptoms persist more than a week-10 days it wouldn't hurt to get a second more informative opinion from a doctor!

Quit kissing strange boys, you don't know where they've been!\n\nBeyond that...make a point to get lots of rest...if its tough to sleep because of the symptoms...treat them...I recommend Nyquil at night....then Dayquil during the day (it won't knock you out).\n\nDrink lots of water, some juices are good. \n\nMy father always suggested hot tadi's:\n\nHot Tea with brandy and honey\n\n....I don't think this helps really, but it will make your throat feel better, and you may, at the least, care less about being sick after a few. \n\nIf it lasts more than 7-10 days...see a Dr. \n\nHope ya get to feelin' better :)

Use desinfectant or hot water. If you mean killing a virus in your body there is no cure for any viral disease.

Easy.. I remember those days.. Just stay at home for a short while, away from dust, cold-catching germs, and eat ice cream(without nuts) and chicken soup (without a lot of noodles, meat).. It will pass in no time.

Fill your bathtub with as much water as you can and make sure the water is as hot as you can tolerate.\n\nBeing immersed in this hot water will help kill the virus in your system (that's why your body raises it's how temperature in the first place).  Because your body temperature rises as a result of the bath, your body will compensate for it by lowering your fever.\n\nThe hot bath will make you dehydrated, so keep drinking plenty of liquids.\n\nI hope I helped!

please tell everyone: coldcure.com, changed my life.\nwas prone to getting fever blisters for whatever reason. especially with fever and illness. \ncure: I take "nature made" zinc from wallgreens, and use it as an oral rins. this is preventitive and treatment.\n\n1) for first week rinse every day with one tablet.\n(I just put enough water in my mouth to rinse with, and then chew untill disolved, one 60mg tablet. This seems to be the quickest way. There is really no bad taste.)And make sure you rinse untill disolved, and try to rinse over any areas you feel might be infected. \n\n2)Rinse at least once a week thereafter.\n\n3)if you feel that little tingle on your lips, and you think one might be coming on, rinse once about every hour for 5 hours or so, and most importantly, a couple of times before you go to bed.\n\nI can not stress how well this has worked for me.\nI have had one reacurance of a full blown blister,over the past year,\nand that was after I had oral surgery and imediatly got the flu and was unable to rinse and treat.\n\nI have had the stomach flu twice, rinsed during and after my illnes, and did not get one.\nI have felt a couple bumps comming on, and began rinsing immediatly. the next morning they were COMPLETLY gone. It is allmost to good to be true.\n\nsimple and effective. hope this helps.

Use antibiotic ointment around the raw area before you go to bed, it will moisten it and help it heal faster, good luck, I hope you feel better :)
