Tips on reducing a fever for teens?
I noticed that I developed a fever a mere day ago in school, in which I alternated between having the chills, and burning up. During one of my cles, my teacher asked me if I wanted to go to the health room, so I did. After going to the health room, my temperature got clocked at 100.9, which is supposedly mild, but made me feel like crap as I shift between the chills and heat, I suffered aches throughout my body, I walk clumsily because I'm usually dizzy. I originally a bad cough set in my chest, but it seems to have calmed down since I've been taking cough medicine. I've been drinking a lot of water and orange juice, along with eating chicken soup, and taking lukewarm baths. Ultimately I ended up having trouble sleeping because of aches, headaches, and switching between the chills and heat, so I only slept about 5-6 hours at the most, in which I woke up between naps frequently. I'd like to feel better by Monday, because as nice as a day-off sounds, I really want to improve my grades, considering I missed a project presentation at school. So are there any ways to make my fever go away? I've been taking aspirin, TheraFlu, and cough medicine. I have also not received my flu shot.
