It always feels better when I put a wet or cold towel on my head. I'm not sure if it helps my fever but it makes me more comfortable than being all hot and bothered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-temperature-is-just-below-101-how-can-i-get-it-down-more#post-154653 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:18:20 +0000 Maysprout 154653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for OJ and sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-temperature-is-just-below-101-how-can-i-get-it-down-more#post-154652 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:17:22 +0000 chopsuey 154652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: There are a bunch of us supporting her so go to bed! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-temperature-is-just-below-101-how-can-i-get-it-down-more#post-154650 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:17:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 154650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Well at least lay in bed and post?! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-temperature-is-just-below-101-how-can-i-get-it-down-more#post-154647 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:15:44 +0000 mrbee 154647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: It's a postathon!!

I would leave it be. You've got it down enough that you are out of the danger zone (up in the 103 and above range). A fever is the sign that your body is doing what its supposed to and working to fight whatever infection you have. The best things for you to do are rest rest rest and push fluids to flush your system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-temperature-is-just-below-101-how-can-i-get-it-down-more#post-154570 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:58:15 +0000 mrsjyw 154570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it feed a fever, starve a cold?

I feel much much better.</p> <p>My temperature is just below 101... how can I get it down more? I'd like to be healthy-ish tomorrow, so that I can help watch Mister Charlie all day.</p> <p>Do you have any suggestions for getting a temperature down? </p>
