Another yay! I love this site. My father in law had a fever of 102 one night at about 7pm. I dipped paper towels in egg whites, wrapped his feet with them, put a large zip -- bag over his feet, then put his socks on so I he wanted to walk around he could. By 9pm (2 hours later) his fever went down to 99.1. Thank you earth clinic! I used earth clinic for years and would never submit yay or nays. Now I will because after all earth clinic wouldn't be what it is with out all the feedback. So let everyone know yay or nay if it works for you:-) k?

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.

Dear Helen, I just heard from a Chinese friend about this method in order to heal upset stomachs and was fascinated. Do you still remember some of the knowledge of your grandma in order to bring the ying/yang into harmony? If you ever find resources about this kind of treatment I would love to hear about it. It is so simple and effective. Blessings & Thank you!

My soon to be two year old has the flu and this is the third night that she has had a temp and it started to rise. I tried the wash cloths soaked in apple cider vinegar with one on her tummy and one on her forehead for an hour, but there was no change. It just went up. Then I tried the egg whites. I got some cloth all goopy with the stuff and tried it for an hour reapplying once and there was no change. A tepid bath is what helped her. Now her temp went from over 104 to now it's 99.9. We didn't stay in the bath long. I hope it lasts, but I'm prepared to give her another if I need to! She hates the doctors and having stuff stuck up her butt! Even though most of the remedies didn't work for me, thank you for the ideas. It gave me something to do other than go crazy with worry.

This works, my 3yr old had a fever of 102.5 for hrs with no success using meds (tylenol, motrin). I googled on the internet for assistance and found this site. I went to the kitchen, used two eggs, clothes, plastic bags and socks. Soaked the egg yolks on the clothes, wrapped the clothes around his fet one at a time, put them in plastic ziploc bags and socks over them and an in about 20 mins his fever went down to 100.5. In and hour to 99.7. It works. Next time i will use saran wrap instead of ziploc for a tighter fit. I placed a towel in his bed because the yolks leaked. But it works.

Out of desperation I put two egg whites in a bowl, soaked a baby wash cloth in it, then wrapped his foot in it, put is in a plastic sandwich bad the a sock over it. I repeated it on the other foot and with in 20 mins he has stared to cool down. I have not takeen his temp yet, but you can see that he's feeling a little better! Thank you SO SO much!!!

Bebe, how interesting! I remember lying in bed as a child, with the worst headache - I don't remember if I had fever - but my grandmother came and sat next to me with her hand on my forehead and after a while I was up and about with no headache!

My daughter woke up crying and screaming with an extremely high fever. I tried the egg whites on the bottom of her feet. I put 1 egg white directly into each of the plastic ziploc bags (saw this recommendation on the other comments) and put her foot right in each one. Even though she was still screaming, we kept her feet in the bags for for 5 minutes. It was amazing...the fever went down to 101. She went back to sleep and woke up the next morning with only a low grade fever. We are going to let the body do its work. Thank you for your site. We are on here EVERY DAY! GOD BLESS!
Liquid Calcium

My son had a relatively high fever and was lying on the couch, not doing very well at all. I had heard about calcium for fever, so I gave him some liquid calcium in apple juice and thought I'd let him sleep. 25 minutes later I went to check on him and he was outside, riding his roller up and down the sidewalk, no sign of fever! The chiropractor who first told us about calcium said that fever is actually an attempt by the body to heat up the bones and teeth so it can remove calcium and use it for the white blood cells. So taking calcium seems to make a fever unnecessary.
Aspirin

I grew-up in the 1960's and 70's. I remember Mom would quarter a 325mg aspirin and place one quarter (80mg) into a spoon with water. Once it was dissolved, she would give it to us by mouth. It worked for us.
Do NOT give to children under 2 years old.
Chronic Fever Remedies
Posted by Forloveford (Alberta, Canada) on 12/18/2013
My poor nephew has been suffering from an ongoing fever for about 1-1 1/2 months. After blood work and scans Dr's cannot find out what is going on with him. The fevers have recently triggered a seizure, he was rushed to emerg where Dr's said that the fever was the only cause and to give him Advil every few hours and check his temp.
There has to be a better way, he is coming to stay with us tomorrow and I am looking up everything I can for fever and seizure remedies. I will be trying 1 tsp ACV in water (this is what I give to my daughter instead of juice) as well as on a cloth if his temp gets high, egg white for a more severe temp and a tsp of coconut oil a day for the seizures.
Funny thing, my 3 year old daughter loves coconut oil and sneaks it whenever she can. Our family has a history of seizures yet nether myself, nor my daughter have ever experienced one even with dangerously high fevers. We have consumed and applied coconut oil almost everyday since before she was born, perhaps this is the answer to our mystery.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone might have some experience with these symptoms and perhaps a cause? I would like to be able to send him home without a trip to emerg, some new knowledge about the issue and some remedies to try.
Thank you all.

Just a thought for your nephew... I had a dog that had seizures, 3 or 4 a week, so I gave her a zinc tablet in her food every evening, the kind I take myself. She only from there on had about two a year and they were only mild.

His body is fighting an infection - it may be an urinary infection. Try the cranberry juice (no sugar but you can add honey) and also keep his feet in warm water with smashed garlic. Give him Manuka honey and bee Propolis tincture in water.

Question for you: was the egg whites raw or was this from a hard boiled egg? I am going to try this so am wondering which method you used? Thx.
EC: The egg whites should be raw.

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...
