The Best Way To Cure Fever - Sweat It Out!!!

I got headache and almost got a fever today. So I do what I usually do - Sweat myself profusely!

No, it has nothing to do with Hot Chicken Soup or fold myself with blanket. I haven't got time nor skill to cook that soup. Fold myself with blanket and switch off the fan for the rest of day or night take too much time to work even with Panadol.

Instead, I exercised until my t-shirt is drenched with sweat. Gross but it works miracle ^^

Curing Fever or Cold
Okay, it depends on how bad it is. Small fever will be gone completely after a few minutes or hours. Bad fever takes a few days so I have to continue the sweaty workout everyday until it's gone and I might need to take Panadol too.

So what's the point of the exercise if I still have to take the drug?
Easy, I don't get headache, restless nights, sore throat, runny nose, become clingy or any other annoying things while having it. Cool, huh?

The catch is I have to do it before I actually get the fever or cold. I don't know if you're like me but usually I get sore throat, headache, cold sweat, weak body or combination of these a day or two before I get the fever. So I have to act fast as soon as I get the clue if possible.

Oh, and this tip works for most common non life threating but annoying illnesses too :)

Curing Headache
Sometimes, I got headache either simply because I am too inactive, stressed out or dehydrated (I sometimes forgot to drink tehehe..). So if drinking water doesn't help, sweaty workout is the best cure for me.

Curing Sore Throat and Dehydration (?)
Sometimes I drink enough water but my throat, mouth or body still feel dry or dehydrated. Maybe my body doesn't work properly because I am not an active person (I'm sitting in front of the computer most of the day.. and night). Exercise usually helps. I don't know why.

Same goes to stomach ache, gassy/bloating, and.. erm... constipation *blushes* though these must be included with eating more fiber and water. And uh... it doesn't work as well yet. I'm still looking for the correct diet..

Flashbacks
There are a lot of natural cures that doesn't involve exercise at all for these illnesses but when I live alone, I feel really lonely when there was no one to be with me during these moments. The cures works fine but they take a little bit too long to work for my liking. I often end up whimpering and crying like a lost puppy while waiting it out.

So the best alternative is preventing it from happening at all. I'm glad to say it works to this day. Hopefully I will never feel that loneliness ever again.


My way might not be the best though and there might be some repercussion after some time.

Have you tried this method? Does it work? Did you notice any side effect? Please tell me in your comment.


Edited:
Yeah, these tips are best done when you first notice the usual symptoms before you actually get a fever. It's definitely not recommended to do this when you are feeling wayyy too sick. That would be like looking for trouble. I mean, if you can't even stand or walk, how are you going to run without stumbling or hurting yourself?

Other than that, just a friendly reminder. There are methods or medicines that work for you and then there are some that don't but works for other people. Tips are the same so don't expect these tips to be fool proof although they are in my case.
