For All Fevers

• Drink cold fluids orally to prevent dehydration (Reason: good hydration replaces sweat and improves heat loss via skin). Adults should drink 6-8 glasses of water daily.
• Dress in one layer of lightweight clothing and sleep with one light blanket.
• For fevers 100-101° F (37.8-38.3° C), this is the only treatment and fever medicine is unnecessary.
