10. Wait It Out

Having a fever is an unpleasant experience, but it is worth remembering that most fevers are fairly harmless and that they are a fundamental mechanism springing into action when the body needs to fend off infection. Provided the person has no underlying health conditions or complications, the fever should successfully achieve its mission to return the body to a healthy state within three days. As mentioned, please see a doctor if your symptoms persist longer than this, or if other worrying symptoms develop.
