Hello! I am a student in 12th grade and I got sick on the occasion of the flu vacation. Yesterday it knocked me down suddenly, I was out for less than two hours, but I felt very sick. My muscles ached and I could barely get home. I measured my temperature and it was 39. 6. How is it possible to rise so fast. Since I study in the capital and my parents are in another city, I went to the polyclinic and after a short examination and examined secretion, the doctor said that she had the flu. He prescribed me TamiFlu, Influcid and Gelomirtol and told me to stay in bed while I had T and to go home until I recovered. How long does this flu last The temperature and weakness bother me a lot, as if draining my strength. As well as alternative methods for removing the high temperature. I took Paracetamol and Nurofen and put smooth towels on my forehead. I read about lukewarm water, but I'm afraid the cold won't rise any further. I'm constantly cold and it shakes me, and if I turn a lot I won't raise an even higher T. 1 hour ago it was 39. 9, I took medicine and put on towels, now I'll measure again ... But I'm both burning and it is very cold. Do you know proven methods for removing high T?

Remove with towels. Towels should be wet with lukewarm water. They are placed in places where the veins are close to the surface of the skin so that heat exchange takes place. Such places are on the wrists and neck. You can also put on the forehead. You go to bed, put them on and wait. When they warm up, wet them again with lukewarm water and put them back on. No vinegar or brandy is added. They only irritate the skin without having any other positive effect than pure water. The temperature must be lowered, because if it rises above 40, it leads to damage. Paracetamol should not be taken for more than 2-3 days because it is poisonous. The flu will keep you safe for a week, but the fever and muscle aches will be 1-2 days. Then only your throat will hurt, you will cough and you will have snot. The temperature rises because the high temperature kills the viruses or at least slows down their reproduction. Viruses are killed by the immune system, not by the drugs you are prescribed. Tamiflu slows the spread of the virus in the body. And Gelomirtol is for cough. Instead of giving BGN 10 for Influcid, I would drink thyme teas. Eat tasty and healthy food. Meat, fruits and vegetables. Strong food, as it is called. This is in general terms. Good luck and write how the disease went with you.
