14 Best Home Remedies for Fever in Children
Fevers are common among children. And so is the dilemma that parents face when a child has fever—to rush to the doctor or treat the child at home.
To take an informed decision, it’s important to understand why children have a fever. Fever is a self-defence mechanism used by the human body to fight infections. At high temperatures, the body produces white blood cells which provide defence against an infection and restrain the growth of virus or bacteria. Interestingly, lowering the fever may actually hamper the body's natural mechanism to fight the infection.

Facts About Fever in Children
Most parents worry about a fever and do everything to bring it down. However, the measure of temperature is not the best indicator of whether or not a fever is cause for concern. As a parent, you need to observe how comfortable your child is. If your child has a low fever and is active, you may not need to intervene at all! However, it is important to monitor food and fluid intake, and the pattern of urination of a child with a fever. If these are normal, there is no need to panic or rush to a paediatrician. Simply observe the child for signs of improvement or change. However, if your child is uncomfortable, and the fever crosses 104 degrees or persists for two consecutive days, it is time to see a doctor.
While taking that syrup might be easy, it is not necessarily the best option. Opting for natural remedies for fever at home helps your child build immunity by boosting the body's ability to fight an infection. Medicines are foreign substances which need to be metabolised. Moreover, medicines like Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Advil that are usually administered to reduce fever can cause liver failure and other harmful side effects like asthma or gastrointestinal bleeding if consumed regularly. It is best to administer such medicines only if natural ways to reduce fever fail, or in the following cases when you must contact your paediatrician immediately:
If the child is an infant with a fever of 100.4 degrees or more
If the child has a weak immune system because of another issue such as chemotherapy
If the child's fever lasts for two to three consecutive days without accompanying cough, cold or pain
If the child experiences breathing trouble along with fever
14 Home Remedies to Treat Fever in Children
If you wake up at night and find out that your child’s forehead feels warm, do not panic. Take a deep breath and analyse the following:
If your baby is suffering from cold, then he/she is likely to get a fever
Your child can have a fever post vaccination
Many babies have a fever during teething
Here are some effective remedies for fever in children, borrowed straight from a mother’s book! These are remedies that our mothers and grandmothers swear by and are very potent in providing relief from fever:
1. Rubbing an Onion
If you are an Indian, you must have heard your mother and grandmother preach about the medicinal benefits of onion. Onion not only helps in reduction of body temperature but also relieves the body of pains during fever. Simply cut one whole onion into thin slices and rub 2 to 3 pieces on your child's feet for a few minutes. This process may be repeated twice a day to reduce fever.
2. Ginger Bath
Ginger is capable of killing bacteria which are responsible for fever in children. It helps in sweating which, in turn, helps remove body heat and toxins. Add about 2 tablespoons of ginger powder to a bathtub filled with warm water. The powder needs to be stirred well. You can give your ailing child a warm ginger bath. Sweating post bath will reduce his body heat and flush out the toxins. Ginger can be an effective home treatment for fever in children. When giving a bath, avoid contact with your toddler’s eyes.
3. Chamomile Tea
Chamomile Tea is a good remedy for fever. Boil water and soak chamomile tea leaves for a minute. Add honey to it and give your child as many drops as he/she can take about two times a day. Some children do not enjoy the change of taste, so keep your fingers crossed.
4. Lemon Juice Added to Honey
Vitamin C in lemon strengthens our body's immunity. Honey provides our body with nourishment. A combination of the two is effective in reducing fever. You can add 1 tablespoon of honey to 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix it well and feed your toddler. His fever is sure to reduce.
5. Massage your Baby with Mustard Oil and Garlic
You must have heard that mustard oil and garlic effectively reduce fever. This is indeed true. In addition, it releases body pain and helps in sweating to remove body toxins. Just heat 2 tablespoons of mustard oil and add 1 tablespoon of garlic paste to it. Leave the mixture undisturbed for 2 minutes. Apply the mixture on your child's chest, feet, palms, back and neck prior to bedtime.
6. Egg White Soak
Take 3 tablespoons of egg white and beat it in a small bowl. Dip a clean piece of cloth in it. Leave the cloth to soak for a minute and then cover the feet of your child with the cloth. Leave it on your child's feet for an hour. It will lower your baby's body temperature. You can repeat the process to reduce his/her fever effectively.
7. Raisins
Owing to the presence of antioxidant and antibacterial properties, raisins effectively reduce fever by fighting infections. You can soak around 25 raisins in ½ a cup of water for 1 hour. When the raisins become soft, crush them and strain the liquid. Juice from half a lime may be added to this liquid. Feed your child with this liquid twice daily and watch the fever go down.
Home Remedies for Viral Fever
Viral fevers are seasonal infections and can be taken care of at home. There are quite a few viral fever home remedies for toddlers:
1. Coriander Seeds
Phytonutrients and vitamins present in coriander (dhaniya) seeds help in building the body's immunity. This can effectively protect your child against viral fever. Add coriander seeds to boiling water. When the solution cools down, strain it, and add milk and sugar. Serve the soothing drink to your child to reduce the fever.
2. Dill Seeds
Dill seeds contain monoterpenes and flavonoids which act as an antimicrobial agent to fight against viral fever by effectively reducing body temperature. You may prepare a decoction and feed this to your child to reduce his fever.
3. Basil Leaves
Basil or Tulsi leaves have antibiotic, germicidal properties. They are additionally anti-bacterial and fungicidal in nature. Tulsi has been used for fighting viral fever since long. You need to boil 20 tulsi leaves in a litre of water and add half spoon of powdered clove to it. Boil the solution till it reduces to half and feed it to your child every two hours. It can reduce fever.
4. Rice Starch
Rice starch acts as a diuretic agent. It helps in strengthening the body's immune system. It promotes urination which helps in flushing out body toxins. You can use rice starch as a home remedy for effectively reducing viral fever.
5. Fenugreek Seeds
Fenugreek (methi) seeds contain alkaloids, saponins and diosgenin which bear immense medicinal values. They can effectively reduce viral infections. You need to soak fenugreek seeds in water over the night. Make your child sip the strained water throughout the day. It can effectively reduce fever.
6. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil also has antibacterial and antiviral properties. You can make your child consume it in small quantities by mixing it with his food.
7. Cod Liver Oil
Cod liver oil consumption is in general effective in boosting the body's immune system. Give it to your child regularly to ward off seasonal infections.
Tips to Reduce Fever Naturally
Also keep these natural remedies in mind to soothe your child without medical intervention.
1. A Sponge Bath or Warm Bath
For infants, a warm sponge bath and for bigger children, a warm bath in a tub can be really soothing during fever. A warm bath helps regulate temperature. The body temperature comes down as the water evaporates from the body. A cold water bath should be avoided during fever. Cold water can trigger shivering and may raise the body temperature further.
Note: In the olden days, massaging with a specific rubbing alcohol to treat fever was common practice. However, research indicates that alcohol can spike temperature and even lead to alcohol poisoning. This remedy is best avoided
2. Use the Fan Judiciously
You might want to revisit the old notions such as switching off the fan if your child has a fever. Make sure that your child must be placed in a room, which is well-ventilated and airy. You can always keep the fan on to facilitate air circulation around the child. Just lower the speed of the fan to make sure that the temperature of the room is normal so that the child does not shiver
3. Feed your Child at Regular Intervals
During fever, the body needs more of Vitamin A, B, C, Calcium, Sodium and Iron. The diet recommended is a high-calorie, high-protein, low-fat and high-fluid diet. Bone broth or chicken soup with vegetables can be fed to the child. Bone broth has a high content of cartilage which helps in the generation of white blood cells that defend the body against infections.
Make sure your child consumes food that is easily digestible. Feed the child every two hours initially and when the child is better, you may reduce the frequency to once in four hours. Do not force your child to eat. Spicy, fatty and high fibrous foods need to be avoided as they are difficult to digest. Custard, light dal, eggs, baked fish, cereals, boiled vegetables and dry fruits are good meal choices. If you have an infant, strained bananas and mashed potatoes are perfect. Khichdi made of rice and lentils is another good option
4. Keep your Child Hydrated
Apart from soups and solid food, fluid intake in the form of water and juices is essential. Fruit juices, glucose water, milk, barley water, coconut water and buttermilk boost the body's energy level and give it the strength it needs to recover. Newborn babies, who are being breastfed, should be fed every 10 minutes. If the baby is bottle-fed, make sure you increase the number of feedings to compensate for fluid loss from the body. A newborn needs to receive about 30ml extra with each feed. A one-year-old may need up to 90ml extra at each feeding. When in doubt, discuss this with your doctor as the amount of extra feed needed will vary based on the baby’s age and weight. ORS (oral rehydration solution) also helps compensate for inadequate fluid intake which is an important part of fever treatment at home
5. Choose Light Clothing
During fever, children should be dressed in light clothes to ease the loss of body heat. Layers of clothing aggravate fever by trapping body heat. Use a blanket if the child is shivering
6. Stay Indoors
Do not expose your child to direct sunlight during fever. Keep the child in a cool and shaded place, preferably indoors. It is better to avoid excessive exposure to public places as a weak body is vulnerable to infections
7. Rest and Sleep are Healers
Adequate rest and sleep can refresh the child. During rest, the body can dedicate energy to healing rather than distributing it to deal with other activities. If the child is reluctant to sleep, pick activities which can restrict movement like colouring, solving puzzles, or playing with a favourite toy. If you have time, tell them stories, watch videos together or teach them rhymes. This way, with less movement, the body will be able to direct more energy towards healing the actual ailment
8. Saline Drops can Reduce Fever
Saline drops can be prepared by adding a ¼ tablespoon of salt in 230ml water. The water needs to be stirred till the salt dissolves completely. Carefully put 2 drops in each nostril of your child with a dropper. Administering saline drops helps clear a congested nose and reduces fever
9. Avoid Exposure to Smoke
Smoking suppresses the body’s immune system. On being exposed to smoke, the body has to fight harder to fight against the viruses and bacteria. This increases the body temperature. Hence, ensure that your little one is not exposed to passive smoking from cigarette, nicotine or any other tobacco products
10. Use a Cold Compress
Natural home remedies for fever in babies include using a cold compress. A cold compress on the forehead and nape can efficiently reduce fever in toddlers. Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to 4 tablespoons of cold water. Apple cider vinegar is effective for heat removal from the body. The ingredients need to be mixed well. Use a piece of clean cloth to soak the mixture for a minute. Remove excess water and place it on your child's forehead and/or nape for a few minutes.
11. Steam Inhalation Helps
If fever is accompanied by cold, then steam can aid removal of mucus responsible for fever. A steam bath can be an effective fever treatment at home. Fill in hot water into a vaporiser and add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to it. Help your child take inhale the steam. Breathing the warm and moist air will help in removal of mucus and thus, reduce fever
Dealing with Febrile Seizures
Febrile seizures are a common phenomenon amongst toddlers. Wondering what a febrile seizure is? In children aged 6 months to 5 years, high fever can be accompanied by convulsions. You may see your child drooling, rolling his eyes or vomiting. It is also possible that his/her body may jerk, twitch or become stiff. The seizure may last from a few seconds up to 15 minutes which is usually considered very long. Contact your paediatrician immediately if the seizure continues beyond 3 minutes. To comfort your child during a seizure, place him on his side. To avoid choking on vomit, turn his head carefully to one side. Do not feed him anything during the seizure, not even medicine.
So, try these Indian home remedies for fever that do not bear any harmful side effects. Try these as a first line of medication. However, if you do not see improvement or observe that the symptoms are getting worse, consult a doctor. Read more

Cold Milk vs Hot Milk - Which Is Healthier?
Unless you are lactose intolerant, you have certainly been reminded as a child to finish your milk before doing anything else. Milk is such an essential part of our day that we almost feel incomplete without it. It is the perfect drink that is high in micro-nutrients like calcium, magnesium, zinc, riboflavin, and several proteins and vitamins. It is also a versatile beverage that can be taken in many delicious ways and used in several preparations. While most people enjoy their milk warm, some love a glass of chilled milk. Here we explain the goodness that can be reaped from drinking cold milk and hot milk.
Benefits of Drinking Hot Milk
Hot milk is a favourite amongst Indian mothers. Here are some benefits of hot milk:
1. Hot Milk Promotes Good Sleep
Hot milk consumed at night can help fight insomnia. Milk contains an amino acid known as tryptophan that aids in inducing sleep and is activated when the milk is warm. This can induce a feeling of relaxation and sleep and is definitely one of the benefits of hot milk at night.
2. It Helps Prevent Digestive Discomfort
Hot milk is digested effortlessly by the human body. This makes it a beverage that can prevent digestive uneasiness like bloating and diarrhoea.
3. Milk Has Antibacterial Properties
Milk can do wonders when combined with other natural ingredients. Hot milk and honey together have been known to have an antibacterial effect, especially on the staphylococcus bacteria. This makes it a wonderful natural remedy for respiratory ailments like a cough and the common cold.
4. It Warms the Body
Hot milk can warm the body. It can be had on cold winter days to raise the body’s internal temperature. Having hot milk in the form of tea or coffee gives you an energy boost in the morning.
5. Warm Milk Reduces Stress Levels
Hot milk has a protein known as lactium which can help in lowering blood pressure. Milk also contains potassium which aids in muscle relaxation. This helps to relieve muscular tension and stressed nerves. Warm milk is also known to alleviate symptoms of PMS in women.
6. It Can Flush Away Toxins
Hot milk before bedtime has the propensity to flush out facial toxins. This helps increase your facial glow while the body is resting. Hot milk with turmeric is also widely known to relieve throat infections and flush out toxins from your body to help fight off bacterial infections.
Benefits of Drinking Cold Milk
Some of the advantages of cold milk are listed below:
1. Aids in Relieving Acidity
The best-known benefits of cold milk for the stomach are as a remedy to acid reflux or stomach ulcers. The high calcium content reduces acid build-up. It also absorbs acids that are produced in a surplus and relieves symptoms of extreme acidity.
2. It Is Great for Skin
Cold milk is a wonderful cleanser that provides skin with the required proteins while clearing and toning it.
3. Hydrates the Body
Cold milk is packed with electrolytes and is a wonderful way to keep your body hydrated and energised during the day.
4. It Can Be an Energy Booster
Having a glass of cold milk in the morning can keep you energised throughout the day because it is packed with micro-nutrients and electrolytes as well. But drinking cold milk at night can elevate digestive discomfort and is best avoided before bedtime.
5. It Can Help Maintain Weight and Fight Hunger Between Meals
A high dose of calcium in milk helps boost metabolism which, in turn, can help you burn calories. Also, the body burns required calories in trying to adjust body temperature to that of the cold milk, thereby helping you maintain your weight. It is also a healthy beverage to fight hunger pangs without adding unhealthy calories. Milk is the best snack you can have between meals. It fights off hunger pangs and keeps you from snacking on those calorie-laden munchies that you usually reach for between two meals.
Which Milk is Better, Hot or Cold?
Both hot and cold milk have their respective advantages and disadvantages. However, you would want to consider the suitability according to climate, time of the day, and your body’s own tolerance of milk.
FAQs
Below are some frequently asked questions regarding the consumption of milk:
1. Does Cold Milk Have More Calories in Comparison to Hot Milk?
There is a negligible difference in calorific value because of the temperature difference.
2. Which Milk is Good for Weight Loss, Cold or Hot?
While warm milk is a healthy and nutritious drink, the calcium in cold milk helps increase metabolism which in turn helps break down fat efficiently.
3. Which is More Beneficial, Protein with Cold or Hot Milk?
Protein mixed in hot or cold milk is equally beneficial. However, the protein will dissolve better in hot milk while it might be quite the task to mix it to cold milk.
Milk is the best beverage you can have, and it is an undisputed super-food that is very versatile in its use. If you are not lactose intolerant, make the best use of this beverage and drink your way to health!

How to Increase the Fertility of Cervical Mucus
The cervical mucus helps sperm cells swim freely towards the uterus. Therefore, having the right quantity of this fluid decides whether the sperm cells that enter your body can finish their journey to the uterus. If the quantity and the quality of this fluid are quite poor, then the sperm cells will not be able to swim towards the uterus; however, too much of it and it will be way too thick for sperm cells to penetrate.
The secretion of cervical mucus differs from one individual to another. So don’t fret if you are one of those women whose body produces a lesser quantity of cervical mucus, because there are several ways to improve its quality and quantity and make it less ‘hostile’.
How to Detect Ovulation Through Your Cervical Mucus
Your cervical mucus is an indicator of your fertility levels. Right after your periods, you may experience some dryness down there, and the discharge you notice might be sticky, cloudy or yellow in colour. As your ovulation date comes closer, you’ll notice that the colour of the mucus becomes more creamy, and it increases in quantity and moistness as well. It is when you begin ovulating that your cervical mucus will have the texture and colour of raw egg whites, which will indicate that you are going through your most fertile days. Once again, post your fertile window, the mucus takes on a thicker consistency and decreases in quantity as well.
When you start tracking the changes in your cervical mucus, you’ll realise that your fertile window is actually quite small. Therefore, reducing the hostility of the cervical mucus i.e., increasing and improving its quantity and quality to enable sperms to reach the uterus is of utmost importance if you’re trying to conceive.
11 Ways to Make Your Cervical Mucus More Fertile
Here are a few tips to help you increase the fertility of your cervical mucus.
1. Keep yourself hydrated.
Did you know that 96% of the cervical mucus is water? Hence, needless to say, keeping yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water is the ideal way to increase the quantity of cervical mucus naturally.
2. Use nutritional supplements.
Essential fatty acids play an important role in regulating hormones, increasing the blood circulation to the uterus, increasing the quantity of the cervical mucus and so on. If your daily diet isn’t rich in essential acids such as omega 3, 6 and 9, then it’s time for you to include nutritional supplements such as evening primrose oil, Borage seed oil, and L-arginine to your diet.
3. Say no to nicotine.
Nicotine is known for reducing bodily fluids, including cervical mucus. So it’s not a good idea to give in to the temptation of smoking if you are trying to conceive.
4. Drink grapefruit juice.
Apparently, grapefruit works wonders in making the cervical mucus more fertile; not only does it increase the quantity of the cervical mucus but it improves its texture as well. Usually, drinking grapefruit juice for a week, just before the ovulation period, is enough for you to benefit from its magic.
5. Indulge in a 'dark green vegetable' diet.
It is said that an alkaline environment is necessary for sperm cells to thrive. The alkalinity of a woman’s body seems to have a correlation with the alkalinity of her cervical mucus. That’s why eating dark green vegetables like spinach and broccoli will come to your aid. Make sure you make your man gorge on these leafy greens as well, as it helps boost sperm quality too.
6. Maintain a good intake of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is already known for many of its health-related benefits. But did you know that it also affects your cervical mucus? It helps in the secretion of watery cervical mucus which works as an ideal environment for sperm cells to swim in. There are several known sources of Vitamin C which you can rely on, including different types of citrus fruit. It is one of the effective ways to improve one’s cervical mucus.
7. Choose sperm-friendly lubricants.
Lubricants are very helpful in ensuring the ‘pain’ aspect of sex is reduced, which is essential for women to have a pleasurable sexual experience. But the petroleum, latex, and mineral oil present in such lubricants can harm the sperm cells and may even irritate your vaginal tissues. Don’t worry, you don’t have to give up on lube altogether; just start using natural water-based lubricants instead.
8. Avoid caffeine.
A lot of luscious food and beverages such as coffee, chocolates, ice cream, and so on are rich in caffeine. However, caffeine may not prove to be too good for your cervical mucus, as it tends to dehydrate your body which will then hinder your body’s ability to produce quality fluid.
9. Avoid chemical-based feminine products.
Are you using scented toilet paper or other such products? Well, if you are, then it’s about time for you to say goodbye to them because these products include chemicals which may irritate your vagina and mess up its natural balance. This, in turn, will affect the quality and quantity of the cervical mucus as well. Opt for chemical-free products to maintain healthy cervical mucus.
10. Add carrots to your diet.
There are several foods to increase the quantity of cervical mucus, and carrots are one of them. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which aids in creating Vitamin A in the human body. Foods rich in Vitamin A helps to not only increase the quantity of cervical mucus but also improves its quality.
11. Use herbs that improve fertility.
Some herbs are known to increase the flow of blood to the genitals, while a few of them are helpful to balance hormones in one’s body. Some of these herbs are the leaves and roots of dandelion, Shatavari root, liquorice root, etc.
While it is important to have the right amount of fertile cervical mucus to increase your chances of pregnancy, it is always recommended to seek an expert's opinion when it comes to such remedies. Follow their advice for better and safe results.
