Ok so just when I think I have kicked this fever, its back. What can I do to nip it in the butt? Any natural/home remedies? I'm drinking liquids left and right and sleeping.

A bath with lavender oil in it will also do wonders! Very good at reducing or breaking fevers. And you'll smell purty too!

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to blossom

How long have you had the fever? Apparently your body is still fighting something. Do you have any other symptoms. (No, I'm not a doctor. I just play one on the internet.)

When I have a fever I usually take a lot of baths as it seems to help regulate my body temperature on the skin without destroying the infection fighting fever. If it gets too high, you could always take a dose of Tylenol. But if you run a fever for too long- you might want to go to the doctor. I had a Urinary Tract Infection once that was asymptomatic meaning I didn't have the burning feeling that you normal have with UTI's. The doctor said my infection was so advanced by the time I went in, that I was only 6 hours away from having to be hospitalized. I was running a 104.1 degree temperature by the time we got to the doctor.

Hope you feel better soon!
