INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Not every area in the body is supposed to have the same temperature at all times. For example, while the average normal oral (under the tongue) temperature of an adult is 98.6 F (37 C), ear (tympanic) temperature is typically 0.5 to 1 F higher and can hover close to 100 F (37.8 C) and be considered normal. Furthermore, normal body temperature varies depending on gender, activity levels, food and beverage consumption, time of day, and stage of menstruation. So consider these factors if trying to determine if you or someone else has a fever. For an adult, in reality, normal body temperature ranges from 97.8 F (36.6 C) to slightly under 100 F (37.8 C). Research indicates that temperature discrepancies as much as 1 F in either direction can occur with ear thermometers when compared with rectal readings, the most accurate way of measuring. Due to all the factors mentioned above, and the fact that there may be some thermometer error and/or poor measuring technique, try to take multiple readings, ideally with different types of thermometers in different parts of the body. Compare all the readings and average them out. Furthermore, understand the other common indicators of mild-to-moderate fevers, such as: sweating while inactive, headache, achy muscles, weakness, loss of appetite and increased thirst. A single ear reading from a thermometer should not be used to determine the course of action or treatment. Children can be very ill without a fever, or appear normal with a temperature a little over 100 F (37.8 C) don't make conclusions just based on numbers; look for other symptoms. Fevers are common symptoms of illness, but that's not usually a bad thing as they seem to play a key role in fighting infections. Although an ear temperature of 100.4 F (38 C) or greater is considered a fever, if your child is older than one year and is drinking lots of fluids, playful and sleeping normally, there's usually no reason or need to treat it. However, temperatures of around 102 F (38.9 C) or greater combined with symptoms such as unusual irritability, discomfort, lethargy, and moderate-to-severe coughing and/or diarrhea, then a trip to the doctor is certainly warranted. Symptoms of high fevers (103 F 106 F or 39.4 C 41.1 C) often include: hallucinations, confusion, severe irritability and convulsions, and are usually considered medical emergencies. Your doctor may recommend acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Children's Motrin, others) to help reduce a fever. However, ibuprofen can't be given before 6 months of age and aspirin should not be given to anyone younger than 18 years due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.

SUMMARY: Understand normal body temperature differences. Determine if a fever exists. Know when to see your doctor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. NSAIDs, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, help decrease inflammation and relieve pain. Over-the-counter drugs such as Motrin, Aleve, or Bayer Aspirin can provide quick relief and are readily available at your local pharmacy. Common side effects include gas, heartburn, nausea, dizziness, or diarrhea. If symptoms persist, stop the medication and consult a doctor. Many doctors say that people under 18 shouldn't take aspirin because of its association with Reye's Syndrome - a rare, but serious liver and brain disorder. Start with a warm compress for 15 minutes, followed by a cold compress. Alternate every 2 hours for 5 days. Hot and cold packs can reduce inflammation for people with acute, subacute, or chronic pain. For cold compresses, wrap a gel-based ice pad or ice pack in a shirt or towel before placing it directly on the skin. Otherwise, it can be shockingly cold. This is particularly useful if you have back pain from manual labor or standing too much. Epsom salts contain minerals that relax inflamed muscles. Doctors call this "hydrotherapy". Don't make the water too hot. You don't want to scald yourself. These baths get your nervous system revved up and help circulate blood to strained or injured areas. Give yourself a hot bath massage. Since your muscles will be loosened by the water, now is a good time to work out any tight areas. Take a baseball or tennis ball and put it under your lower back and move your hips from side to side. Then do the same for your upper back.
Summary: Take anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs). Use hot and cold compresses. Take regular baths with epsom salts.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wash the fireplace down with an all purpose cleaner. Some all purpose cleaners are Mr. Clean Multi-Surface Cleaner and Goo Gone All Purpose Cleaner. Spray on the cleaner and use a sponge to scrub off the buildup. After doing an initial scrubbing, switch to a mild soap. Mix the mild soap with water. Continue to scrub at the stone. Switch back to the all purpose cleaner after you've scrubbed for with the mild soap. Scrub for a while and then switch back to the mild soap if necessary. Continue switching back and forth until you are satisfied with the outcome. Allow a few minutes for the stone to dry.

SUMMARY:
Use an all purpose cleaner. Switch to mild soap. Use more all purpose cleaner.
