When you have a fever, it’s natural to want to cool down. And there’s nothing wrong with that — as long as you don’t overdo it.
Fever is your body’s way of fighting infection or illness. Having a fever is not harmful, but it can make you feel uncomfortable and tired. Your doctor may tell you to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to lower your temperature, but there are other ways to cool down too.
Here are some foods that help fight fevers:
Water: It’s important to stay hydrated when you have a fever because dehydration can make you feel worse. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Juices and soft drinks: There’s nothing wrong with having an occasional soft drink or juice while you have a fever because they provide fluids and sugar that raise blood sugar levels — which helps reduce the effects of fatigue caused by low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Just remember that these drinks are loaded with sugar, so they shouldn’t be consumed in large amounts by children or teenagers who may be more prone to tooth decay from frequent sipping on sugary drinks like soda pop.
