Against a low fever, perhaps it is not necessary to act with drugs. Some totally natural remedies would make sparks fly.
Thermal shock is never a good companion. Going from temperatures suited to the season to scorching heat is the best way to experience new ailments.
If we add to this that spring, notoriously, is a period of explosion of allergies, here comes a potentially devastating mix for those who should have the misfortune to experience it. Especially if these were to be the smallest. In those cases, any parent would have the remedy ready, at least for ordinary fever situations. Tachipirina, of course. The drug par excellence, what better than any other it helps to alleviate the sense of discomfort and to bring the body temperature down to acceptable levels. However, this applies to everyone, young and old, given the existence of different weights, designed specifically for children and for those unable to take a 1,000 mg tablet.
Sometimes it is our own family doctor who prescribes it for us. More often, we ourselves take it arbitrarily, relying on the confidence that we have with this drug, whether it is tablets, sachets or suppositories (in the case of younger children). After all, Humanitas also invites us to overcome possible aversions to certain drugs, since antipyretics (such as paracetamol) help to re-stabilize the body in the face of too high temperatures. Basically, despite being faced with an extremely “popular” drug, there is always someone who turns up their mouth and nose. For purely medical or distrust issues. Well, there is no need to get down: alternatives seem to exist.
High fever, three alternative remedies to Tachipirina: what it is
Considering that some ailments could be dictated by symptoms that disappear spontaneously, as in the case of a cold, resorting to a drug could be exaggerated. Unless, of course, there are more serious consequences, such as high fever, excessive fatigue, low fluids, etc. According to Humanitas experts, the consumption of liquids and the absolute rest would give the right soothing. However, natural remedies could also be useful, if applied wisely and on the advice of an expert. Whether it is compresses or herbal teas, some results against the altered temperature would be decidedly surprising. Clearly we are talking about manageable cases, without a hot forehead or a worrying state of health. Basically, all those cases in which a remedy in the form of a drug is not so necessary.
For example, ginger seems to be an interesting remedy for a not too high fever. This root, in fact, could induce sweating and expulsion of body heat, acting in a nutshell as Tachipirina would do. The ideal would be to consume it as a herbal tea, so as to also replenish body fluids. Furthermore, among the effects of ginger, the contrast to the nausea generated by malaise should also be included. Not to mention that lime, in the form of an infusion, would grant a benefit. Like ginger, in fact, this herb carries out a sweat action and has anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, in the face of a high temperature, even the compresses on the legs would be effective, especially in the face of particularly hot limbs. Spreading the legs with towels lying on them for at least a quarter of an hour would be very effective against fever. Of course, if the “green” remedies do not work, contacting your doctor would be advisable.
