Warning on
Fevers: Do NOT use acetaminophen or ibuprofen (Tylenol or Motrin). These
fever reducers suppress the body's ability to fight off the virus and lower the
immune system. You don't want any adverse reaction to be masked by drugs. Bacterial
and viral proteins die off at different temperatures. Bacteria die off at
below 104 degrees Fahrenheit (usually 100.4 –103.1) and viruses at
over 104 degrees Fahrenheit, usually 105-105.8.
A child who is less than 8 weeks old and has a fever of 100.4
degrees or higher should be seen by a physician or
Homeopath immediately.
