How to Break a Fever?

He's been away on business. I am thinking he caught something on the plane. Not an STD.

You have to sweat it out. Literally. Pile him with blankets, even though he may not want them.

A fifth of Jagermeister always works for me.

I offered to make him a hot toddy even though I have no idea how to make one. He told me he would puke.

Hot tea, whiskey, honey, lemon. Hot toddies are YUM!

hot bath as hot as he can take it, for as long as he can take it, than get right into a hot bed all wrapped up in the towel, and than pile on the elec blanket or lots of blankets. If you cant keep him overheated for a few hours it wont work.

Another worth a try is apple cidar vinegar and honey equal parts, several tbsp per day to change ph and kill the bug.

He took a long hot shower when he got home. Didn't help much. He looks kind of funny in flannel pajama pants and an old college sweatshirt, piled under a ton of blankets.

I'd laugh but he looks too pitiful. I'm going to have to deadbolt the door and hide his keys to keep him from going into the office.

No but he has my password.

He's not really fond of tea. The fact that it is unseasonably cold here probably doesn't help things. But I'll try the toddy idea when he wakes up. What are the proportions I should use?

Why no pills? Is it the size or the idea of taking medicine? Otherwise I'd suggest advil and vitamin d 20,000 units for 3 days and then 5,000 for the next month.

My husband has been burning up since he got home last night. He hasn't eaten much, and insists he's not sick even though he's been doing nothing but sleeping.

What should I do to help him that doesn't involve trying to put a pill down him?

Let the body do its job, the fever is to kill whatever is making him sick. You bring the fever down prematurely, then the illness will last longer.

When he is able to keep food down, give him this regimen to get better.

100,000 IU Vit. A for 3 days

Then 150,000 IU Vit. D3 a day for a week

Then 10,000 IU of D3 daily to keep his immune system up
