My kid has a 101 fever today and here is what we are doing. We do not fear a fever and we let it run to help her body fight off whatever she’s got going on. We support her fever with epsom salt baths or homeopathy if needed, but mostly we let them rest and hydrated and hold space for her body to do what it’s designed to do. Every little fever is a workout for their body’s immune system to strengthen and do what it was designed to do. Constantly treating a fever when not necessary inhibits the immune systems first line of defense and the body has to work harder and longer to heal.
