What to do at a high temperature in an adult
The rise in temperature in most casesis one of the signs of a cold, flu, ARI or ARVI. We feel the fatigue, lack of strength, which is piled up from nowhere, from which we are tormented by periodic headaches. And as soon as the temperature reaches a certain limit (in some 38, in others 39), we begin to frantically look for ways to reduce heat (in an adult, a child).
But doctors strongly do not recommend knocking downthe temperature is below 38, because our body at this time is a serious fight with the pathogens of the disease, and careless intake of antipyretics will stop our immunity. In this case, you need to apply a cold compress on the forehead. At excess of 38 it is necessary to use antipyretic agents. Help and tell you what to do at a temperature of 39 and above, a doctor (or ambulance), which in this case should be called immediately because of the threat of life.
How quickly to bring down the temperature in an adult
Heat is very difficult to toleratehuman body, but it is not necessary to knock it down in all cases. Try to drink more fluids to prevent dehydration. Well, if it's tea with honey and lemon, water with sea-buckthorn, raspberry jam, juices, mineral water without gas, mors. Intensified sweating will indicate a decrease in temperature.
But the use of a large amount of fluid andcompresses are not always enough to lower the temperature of an adult. You can try rubbing the body - cologne, alcohol, vodka and vinegar, diluted in cold water. Drying the solution will lower the temperature of the body. After this procedure, do not hide or wear clothes.
Through the time of the patient should be dressed. Pajamas (sports pants and long sleeve T-shirt), warm tea with lime, chamomile and a spoon of honey.

In case the temperature is kept for a long time 38 (yadult or child) can be applied to an enema. Its content can be 2 teaspoons of salt on a glass of warm water (you can add 15 drops of beet juice), chamomile broth (diluted with water, with a couple of spoons of sunflower oil), a solution of any antipyretic and warm water.
Drinking medicines from temperature(in adults and children) should be as cautious as possible. In any pharmacy you will find a very wide range. Doctors recommend paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin. In severe heat, you should take rectal suppositories, because of the increased emetic reflex. To abuse aspirin it is not necessary - it negatively influences kidneys and worsens coagulability of blood.
Do not forget that at home and onlyon its own you can cure only the slightest colds. With the question of why the temperature is kept at 38 without symptoms (in an adult or child), it is better to contact the appropriate specialist (therapist).
