Fever

Fever is a symptom, not a disease. The cause of fever should be sought and treated. However, in early fever, when it is not possible to diagnose the actual cause, one of the following medicines may be tried, if the symptoms match.

Homeopathic Treatment

Ferrum phos 30 : Fever, especially at night or in the early morning, with headache which is relieved by cold applications. Vomiting of undigested food is another feature of this medicine.

Pyrogen 30 : For rapidly rising fever with intense restlessness. There is profuse, hot perspiration, which however, does not cause a fall in temperature. The bed feels too hard. All discharges are horribly offensive.

Notes:

1. In case of very high fever, a dose of the selected medicine may be repeated every fifteen minutes.
2. If there is an obvious cause of fever (e.g., colds, a respiratory infection, sore throat, sinusitis, etc.), treat the cause.
