The lowest heat of the body occurs between 1.30 a.m. to 7 a.m. and the highest between 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. There are quite a few factors that lead to the rise and fall in the body temperature resulting into a common cold fever.

In the next lines, Lifestyle UG provided the various causes, symptoms and treatment of common cold fever.

What causes widespread fever? Most people connect fevers with colds or viruses. One of the old sayings, “You must be impending down with something,” is widespread when people recognize the common fever.

These fatal words have to lead to death in some instances.

Fever refers to a condition of the body in which the temperature goes beyond the normal. It is also characterized by disturbance in the normal functioning of the system.

It is a common ailment which occurs both in children and adults.

The average temperature of a healthy body ranges between 36.9 degrees C and 37.5 degrees C, or 98.4 Degree F and 99.5 Degree F.

However, these are averages, and one’s usual body temperature maybe 1 F (0.6 C) or more above or below the average of 98.6 F. Body hotness can also vary up to 1 F (0.6 C) throughout the day.

Fever refers to a situation of the body in which the temperature goes away from the normal. It is also characterized by disturbance in the ordinary functioning of the system.

Common Cold Fever Treatment

  1. As an alternative, 60 grams of tulsi leaves and ten grams both of the bark of datura roots and the bark of Mandar roots can be ground and rolled into pills.
  2. Taken three to four times at intervals of one or two hours before the attack of fever, the fevers known as kampajwar and vatajwar, as well as other fevers, can be realistically treated.
  3. If the common Cold fever is accompanied by cough and difficulty in breathing, a patient is recommended to take three grams of tulsi juice and three grams of ginger juice with a teaspoonful of honey.
  4. If continuous fever is nonstop without any sign of reduction, a paste obtained by grinding two small peeper seeds and mixing tulsi juice and honey with it is advised to be taken. This, however, is required to be licked and not swallow whole with water, while treating severe common Cold fever.

Treatment of Fever

Generally, fevers do not need particular medical attention, unless the patient is a child, and the temperature is high.

When a person has a fever, the things that can be done to bring down the temperature and give him soothe are as follows:

Common Fever treatment using Holy Basil

The leaves of Holy basil are one of the most effective of several home remedies in the treatment of common fever.

A decoction made of about twelve grams of these leaves, boiled in half a litre of water, should be administered twice daily with half a cup of milk, one teaspoon of sugar and a quarter teaspoon of powdered cardamom (cardamom).

This will bring down the temperature.

Common Fever treatment using Orange

Orange is a portion of excellent food in all types of fever when the digestive power of the body is seriously hampered.

The patient suffers from blood poisoning called toxaemia, and the lack of saliva results in the coating of his tongue, often destroying his thirst for water as well as his desire for food.

The agreeable flavour of orange juice helps greatly in overcoming these drawbacks. Orange juice is the ideal liquid food in fevers.

It provides energy, increases urinary output, and promotes body resistance against infections, thereby hastening recovery.
