Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My friend has a temp above 103.0 the took it four times 103.3 104.9 103.8 103.9 all under the arm pit he was at hospital today for passing out and his cellulitis acting up at home resting and he has antibiotics and has had aspirin and ibuprofen today but what else can I do for him at home? I have also used luke warm rag and he says it is freezing also have fan on low about five feet away from him on but he wants to stay covered!
I really appreciate your concern. Your friend is on right treatment track. For fever you can apply cold sponges on forehead to relieve some discomfort. Chills are due to bacteria in the body. Freezing cold will go away when the antibiotics exert their effects.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
Best Regards. Dr. Manan
