Stimulants should not be given
without the doctors permission.
When the fever comes on, ice and
cold water may be given. A cooling
laxative usually is ordered, as cit

The body may be sponged if the
temperature is very high. A cloth.
wet in alcohol, and bound on the
forehead, will help to relieve the
headache. 1t should be kept wet
without removing it from the head.
When the fever decreases the pa
