how to decrease body temperature - #23575
I am really concerned about my health right now. For the past week, I’ve been feeling super lethargic and my body temperature has been kinda high, like around 101.3°F at times, which freaks me out!! I don’t have any cold or flu symptoms, just this annoying heat. It’s like my body just decided to turn up the heat dial! I tried drinking tons of water, and also stayed in the AC but it doesn’t help that much. I read online about ways how to decrease body temperature, but I’m unsure what’s legit and what’s not, ya know? One thing I found was about eating lighter foods and avoiding spicy stuff — makes sense cause when I had curry last week, I felt like I was on fire! Is there any specific things how to decrease body temperature I can do at home without having to go see a doc? My friend suggested ice packs but I worry that might just create a whole different problem by shocking the system. Should I also be worried about this fever-like state? Does it mean something serious? Any quick tips would be hugely appreciated, especially if there’s natural ways how to decrease body temperature that really work. Thanks, peeps!
