My niece just had a fever, coupled with chill and abnormal bowel movement. Being the uncle, (who really has no idea about first thing first when it comes to medication).. i let her eat lotsa food and juices. THe bowel movement got worst and she even vomit. I sent him to the doctor, I was told to never give her food yet until her stomach settles, there shoul be no soda too, only water. My bad, I made the situation worst for my niece. :-( How about you? What do you usually when someone or you has a fever? SHARE PLEASE!!!

It's good you sent her to the doctor already who must have given her the necessary medication. For ordinary fever I take some medications and drink juice and plenty of water. But if the fever persists we should really see the doctor especially if it's not an ordinary fever for it might be dengue here in the Philippines.

yeah! i am a filipino, i used to live in cebu. I miss Philippines and all my friends way back home. Anyways, it is true that dengue is really rampant there. Is that something to do with a mosquito bite or with the food intake? I understand how fatal that is and am sure its a bot scary if one has it. I just wish what my niece had is not a dengue fever. Thank you so much for the response luzamper! i really appreciate that!
