How to relieve fever and headache effectively

Fever and headache are mostly caused by colds. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, there is no need to take antipyretic drugs. Physical cooling is also effective. In addition, you should pay attention to diet and eat more foods that can clear away heat and reduce fire. You can also use wine and egg therapy for treatment, which also has a good relief effect.

1. Physical cooling

When you have a cold and a headache, put a clean towel in a basin, soak it with appropriate amount of hot water, wring out the water, fold it flat and press it on the patient's eyes, nose, or Fengchi acupoint on the head and neck to relieve symptoms.

2. Wine Eggs

Put 25 ml of wine into a pot and boil to evaporate the alcohol, then beat in 1 egg, stir and add 1 spoon of sugar. When taking it, dilute it with boiled water and drink it, then cover yourself with a blanket and rest. The next day, symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, etc. can be significantly reduced or disappear. Some people can see results after drinking it only once.

3. Pear ginger

Cut 1 pear and 25 grams of ginger into thin slices, add 1 bowl of water, boil and drink it all at once. It is effective on the same day.

4. Scallion and ginger

Use 100 grams of green onion and 3 slices of ginger, decoct them into a soup or drink with boiling water. You can also use 20 grams of scallion, 5 slices of ginger, 1 spoon of sugar, a handful of tea leaves, and 1 bowl of water, and boil them for drinking.

5. Divine Porridge

A widely circulated rhyme for the "magic porridge" in my country is: "Cook a handful of glutinous rice into soup, add seven scallions and seven slices of ginger, boil it and add half a cup of vinegar, it will keep you healthy from colds and flu." This porridge is specially used to treat headaches, body soreness, fatigue, fever and other symptoms caused by wind and cold. Especially if taken within three days of falling ill, it will have the miraculous effect of "the porridge will cure the disease."

The specific method and usage of "Magic Porridge" is to rinse 50 grams of glutinous rice, add appropriate amount of water and cook it into thin porridge, then add 7 scallions (about 30 grams) and 7 slices of ginger (about 15 grams) and cook for 5 minutes, then add 50 ml of rice vinegar, stir well and serve. After taking it while it is hot, go to bed and cover yourself with a quilt to make your body slightly warm and sweat. Generally, the cold will be cured after taking it three to five times in a row.
