Natural Remedies for Fever in Children: Safe and Effective Treatments

When I was a kid and had a fever my grandmother would always strip me down to my underwear and rub vinegar all over my body. I use to hate it because of how bad it smelled but it worked incredibly well. I have always been looking for people who have heard of doing this before and never have until now.

My daughter has had a bad fever for the past 2days now & have been giving her paracetamol to no avail. Saw your web and tried the egg remedy. Within 15mins, her temp dropped from 39degrees to normal. Worked for me... There is no harm in trying. Thank u so much...

Thank you!! Its 1am here in dallas, tx my baby has had a fever for 4 days!! I was looking for something to help me help her. And I came across this web site!!! From 102.3......... 20min have pass and she is at 98.7. Is that amazing or what!!!!!!!! ??? Thank you sooo much! Definitely keeping this advise.

My 12yr old nephew had 103fever, after 2nd dose of advil liquid gels, 2 bottles of pedialyte n ice pops. At 11pm, I put him in the tub w/luke warm water for 20mins n fever was 102.9. I looked up remedies n decided to try this one. I put 4egg whites in a bowl n soaked 2handkerchiefs in it. Wrapped 1 around each foot n put a sock on. I checked temp after 15mins n it had dropped to 99.3. By this time the handkerchiefs were already drying. I removed them n put cold washcloth on top of his head n temp was 97.3 for bout 1hr, then it spiked up again to 102. Did the egg whites 2more times through out the nite n by 1:30am his temp was 101.3. Did remedy again w/wet towel on his head n temp dropped to 97.3. Thanks for the tip. I will use this remedy from now on.

My 13 month old was suffering from Fever/cold and had been up and down all night so at around 3.00am in the morning I found your website. Looked up fever and read about using Egg Whites on the feet. My husband was skeptical but our sons temp was rising and very distressed. I soaked paper towels with the egg whites, put his feet into zip lock bags then his sock over the bags. A bit of crying at the beginning but within 30 minutes the red flush had gone from his checks and he was not burning all over. I was unsure how long to leave it on so kept them on for a few hours just for good measure. His body temperature returned to normal and cooled enough to put his clothes back on and sleep for the rest of the night. Egg Whites worked wonders for my child and have passed on your website to others.

Have an 8 y/o with strep. Ran such a high fever on Tuesday night he started hallucinating. Last night the fever started to spike again. I had tried to give him ibuprofen before bed, but he threw it right back up. I tried to wake him up and get him to drink some Tylenol. No luck, couldn't get him to take anything! Went searching on the web and found this amazing site!! Soaked to dish rags in 4 egg whites. Wrapped his feet. Made a HUGE mess.... Should of read on and saw the posts about using plastic bags... Oh well. He screamed and kicked and fussed, but I finally got him to leave them be for a bit. Added a rag soaked in ACV to his forehead for good measure. That pushed him over the edge though and he started screaming about the smell. I think in all we made it 10 minutes with the egg whites on his feet. But it woke him up enough that I got him in a nice tepid bath. Back to bed... Slept through the entire night... Woke this morning... no fever and felling 100 times better!!! I'm still is disbelief.

White vinegar socks worked wonderfully for my 5yo son at night, who had a terrible fever - even the Panadol wasn't cutting it. So I soaked his socks in vinegar, sqeezed them out and put them on him (with a towel underneath to protect the bed). 20 mins later they were bone dry (practically baked on) and he was much, much cooler. Repeated the process, then took them off him. We tried this every night (when the fever was highest) for another 2 nights and on the 3rd night, the fever broke. Worked great! :D

This remedy worked for me when my daughter had a fever of 104.5 and had already been given ibruprofen and next dose was still 3 hrs away. Mixed up those egg whites and after 10 minutes on her feet the fever had already come down 1 degree... left them on for 20 minutes and the fever was 101.5.

My 4 yr old who is never ill, suddenly spiked a fever, so I knew it had to be an infection of some sort. When I questioned him, he said both his ears and his throat hurt. He was burning up. I put hyrdogen peroxide in each ear, and left it in for 1/2 hr each ear. In the past, when I have a raging sore throat, that has competely removed the pain. I also gargle with it, and make sure to spit it out. I did not let my 4 yr old gargle with it, as it was not food grade, and I didn't want him swallowing it. This removed his ear pain, but he had a raging fever yet.

I used the egg whites on paper towels and put a pair of my footies on over them. Within 10 minutes his fever was down. I then used the washclothes soaked in apple cider vinegar on his chest and head, and within 15 minutes he was down to a normal temperature. That was amazing! I then made him a organic black cherry tea, (simply bcuz that was what I had on hand) with Apple Cider Vinegar and honey and a bit of lemon (he loved it) just to aid things along. Love this site. Our ancestors had it right. We need to go back to those old fashioned ways.

Thank you, thank you, my son had a terrible high fever i soak his socks in egg white put it on him his fever dropped. i also gave him ac vinegar i put it in a cloth. thanks, i'm going to pass this remedy to my family today.

Yea!!!!!! My daughter has Chicken Pox and a temperature of 39.6 degrees C, I tried the Egg White on the feet, also some ACV on a cotton rag on the forehead and belly for safety. My Wife thought this was surely the strangest remedy ever, in 10 minutes she was down to 38.8 Degrees C. Thank you EC.

Sadly the egg remedy didn't work for us. My 6 year old has a 104 temp. And we tried the egg whites and didn't work. I looked for the ACV and the store didn't have any. Had to resort to the motrin just to try to get it down. Will try to find he ACV tomorrow.

Thank you so much I believe from all that I READ I'm using eggs white on our three year old with faith that it will work his temp was a 103.3 and now it's 102. and going down. He's now able to sleep. It's a long day and thanks for this website. Smile for there is love all around the world, though I heard ww3 due to oil declining- could happen soon get chickens and find ways to make oil to run tools and cars.

I'm a believer! My 10 yr old son who was just diagnosed with strep throat this morning has been on Motrin and Tylenol, alternating all day and his fever only has been on the rise. It peaked at 102. 8 when I finally tried this egg white remedy. Within 15 min of wrapping his feet with egg white-soaked paper towels, his temperature dropped to 101.7 and now 60 minutes later, is 99 degrees. Life is back in his eyes again. I will keep this on all night tonight and have to say when nothing else worked all day (including cool baths, wet cloth on his head, etc.), this really worked.

My brother is really chilling and shivering to death with a 40 degrees centigrade.. His fever lasted for 3 days and continuoulsy taking lots of medicine.. Until someone told us to use vinegar ( not the ACV but the real liquid vinegar) as an alternative for water.. So instead of soaking the towel with a water while applying tepid sponge bath all over his body we use the vinegar.. I was really amazed upon using it especially that I am into a medical field.. It may sound so awful but geeeezzz, I dunno what happened but trust me. On the next day he was well with a normal body temperature.. It's not expensive and very effective.. There's no harm on trying anyways.. But as a first timer, hands up on this...

I used the egg whites, potatoes, and onion, worked but my sons temp rose back up to 100.2, so now I got him in a bath 1/4 full of warm water and 1 cup of ACV. I also annointed him with virgin olive oil and prayed over him..

Hope this ACV works this time.

Hello, Love this website. My 4 year old son had a fever of 100.3 yesterday. It broke last eve just to return again. I read several of the testimonies and decided to give the egg whites and diced yellow onion a try. Before I used this remedy, His fever was a 100.4. He has had the egg whites and onion on his feet for about 30 min, just took his temp again and it is 99.2. He still has a slight fever so I am gonna do it again but this time use paper towels instead of socks. He said that it is cold and gross... LOL...
