My boyfriend had a fever of 103. Knowing that a fever is good and natural way for the body to fight off infection... we waited... then got nervous when it wasn't going down, and only going up. I soaked two wash coths in a bowl of seven egg whites. He said it was cooling and comforting... within 20-30 minutes his temperature was down to 99.0! It's totally worth a try. Thanks to all for the advise!

My 3yr old started a temp three days ago at 102. I started to give him Motrin and alternate with Tylenol. His fever did not go down all night and proceeded into the next morning. I stayed home with him and kept him on the medications and his temp stayed all day between 102 and 103. In the evening yesterday by 9pm my husband checks the internet for any remedies to bring down fevers. We were starting to worry. He was burning hot. Well he browsed until he got to this website and told me about it. I have never heard of egg yolk remedy before and I was skeptical about it. So off I went to get cloths, soaked it and applied it to my son's feet. Within half hour from 103 his temp went down to 101. I reapplied he cloths again with yolk a second time. Within 35min his temp went down to 99.5. I was amazed. All day trying to get his temp down with Motrin and Tylenol and nothing. Which surprises me becaue usually the motrin has helped at least bring down his temp a little. But this fever was not letting down. So after he fell asleep in his bed, i got up many times to check up him, and his fever was gone. Today I kept him home from daycare just to make sure his fever didnt come back. Sure thing, it DIDN'T. I am so THANKFUL,i have no words to explain. Who says because it sounds wiered to try it won't work. I instantly told my two closest friends and my sister about this and they were in disbelief. I will most definitly keep this remedy in mind for any future fevers that come along. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
EC: We presume you used egg whites, not egg yolks, but let us know if we're wrong. We'd love to know if egg yolks work as well!

Egg whites cured my 7 year olds fever OMG...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! After a full day of fevers at 102.6 to 101 I needed to get this fever down. All day long I used over the counter drugs to try and get his temp down. It worked for a hour or two and then went back up. Knowing that I could not give him and medicine for another three hours I went on the internet to try and find another wat to lower this temp. I came across your web site. I have heard about the Vicks on the Feet in order to cure a cough before so this made sense to me. I used 4 egg whites and paper towles, wrapped his feet and put socks on top of the paper towels. Within 30 minutes his fever went from 102.6 to 99.6. We still have the egg whites on his feet and will see how tonight goes but this is the lowest his temp has been ALL DAY.

I have my grandson visiting from Birmingham; he had been sick for two weeks with a terrible congestion and cough, and most recently worsened with a high fever (103oF) so I searched on line for a natural remedy to break fever. I came across this site and these suggestions. After reading all, I decided on the less messy potato remedy. I slice a white potato into pieces about the size of his little foot and ut them into his socks. It worked in 30 minutes! The fever is completely gone and he is back to a normal reading. Further, I am using apple cider vinegar with natural blue agave sweetener to loosen the congestion and a juice mixture of fresh lemon with grated ginger and sweetener to sooth his cough. Natural is always better! Thanks to all of you for sharing.

I tried the egg white remedy to bring my 16 year old daughters temp down. It was 102.9 to start. We tried a warm bath, we tried ice chips..nothing. Finally I convinced her to let me try the egg white. Within 30 mins her temp was down to 99.1 !!! The shaking stopped, she was able to sleep and within another hour it was down to 98.8. THANK YOU!!!

My 5 month old son had been fighting a fever all day and after a 6 hour trip to the ER with a fever of 103.2 no one could seem to help. They told me to keep giving him tylenol and eventually it would get better! IT DIDN'T!! The lowest we could get it was 102.1. That night around 2:30 am my son woke up screaming with a fever of 103.9, I began searching the internet trying to find something; anything tha night work. I came across the egg whites remedy and figured it was worth a shot since nothing else was working. I put the cloths on his feet, put his socks on and just a few minutes later his temp was down to 100.1!! I can't believe this! THANK YOU!!!!! My son is now back to laughing, smiling and kicking around. This was truly a miracle! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

My husband had been fighting a fever for a few days, we'd been treating it with fever reducing OTC drugs, as well as trying to sweat it out. It suddenly spiked to 103.7. He took a cool bath, after which it was up to 103.9! Panicked, I googled remedies for fevers and came across this cure. We tried it, I wrapped eggwhite soaked cloths around his feet, and covered them with socks. Within 20 minuted his fever was down to 102.4. I had him set his feet (with the socks and eggs still on) in a bowl of ice, he also ate ice chips and we put a bag of frozen veggies on his head. After about an hour we removed the ice, eggs, etc. and now he is sleeping peacefully on the couch with a fever of 100.4 and falling. I don't know if it was the eggs or the ice or a combination of everything, but thank you to whoever posted it.

An addendum to my post this morning. After a night's "rest" the fever is back but even higher (102.5) so I'm rethinking the wonder of the egg white remedy. I think I will let nature take its course and just make sure my son is comfortable while he rides this out.

As I'm typing this, I'm so grateful for the egg white remedy! My son had been running a fever for three days, I was getting weary and thought i would spend Christmas Day in the Emergency Room,I begin to pray and ask Heavenly Father for help. I had faith and i knew somehow i would receive a blessing. I began to worry when i was awaken by my son's cry and when i picked him up he was burning up, i was so afraid i called my husband and informed him that i would have to go to the hospital, and i gave him so OTC meds. I decided to wait and see if he meds would work, but like any mother i could not just do nothing, so i decided to to a search online and saw your posting, after reading it I ran downstairs to the kitchen and used the egg whites. I soaked his in cloth bandages and placed socks on top, and WOW! It WORKS! IN A MATTER OF WHAT SEEMED LIKE SECONDS THE FEVER BEGAIN TO BREAK!! THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!!!!!

My 23 year old friend had come down with a high fever. I had tried everything that I could think of to break it. Finally, I decided to go online and research. Thank God, I came across this web site. Now applying egg whites to one's feet is really gross but I was willing to try anything. It has been about 30 mins and the fever has been slowly dropping. Which is a miracle.. Thank you..

My 12 year old son had a high fever of 104.3 that would not break, even after motrin, popsicles, liquids, and a sponge bath. I came into my office to call the doctor, but thought I'd google 'how to bring down a high fever' and up popped this site. Wow...after having 3 boys and dealing with many high fevers (in fact, this son went into a seizure at 1 1/2 yrs from a high fever)...I can't believe I've never heard of this!! I used 5 egg whites and soaked a wash cloth that I then wrapped on his feet. Truly, and I kid you not, my boys are witnesses... his fever dropped to 102 in a matter of 20 minutes. Thank you so much for this website!!! the ol 'wives' knew more than we give them credit for!!!

I had been running a fever for 2 days in the upper 30's..38.5-39.5 range... I was full of chills and I now know I was on the verge of panic..Advil and Motrin were no longer working to break my fever for even 30 minutes. I quickly gathered my thoughts and searched on line for a home remedy.. Low and behold I stumbled across this remedy.. Thank Goodness.. I soaked 2 rags in the egg white solution and wrapped it around my feet, I then covered my feet in the plastic bags and lastly socks.. After about 25 minutes my fever had went from 39 degrees to 38.5 in 15 more minutes it was 37 degrees... I am still sweating a bit, but without chills and with alot more calmer feelings.. Thank you ever so much for this Remedy, I will definately be passing it on....Namaste...

I was so happy i cried! The egg whites remedy is soooo true! My little boy had a fever for two days. He's normally a happy little guy who's always into everything. Tired of seeing him laying around and not being himself I took to the net to find a remedy. I was kinda skeptical at first but when he climbed in my lap and fell asleep burning up from fever I thought what do I have to loose. I quickly rushed into the kitchen and soaked two towels. I wrapped his feet and even though he didn't like the feeling I just held him and told him he'll feel better soon. About two mins later the fever had dropped drastically. He said mommy...can I have some chips...I was so happy to hear him say that since he hasn't been eating! I cried when he got up from the bed and walked to the kitchen. THANK YOU!!!!!

Firstly, I wanted to thank you for a wonderful and helpful website. My daughter has had a tendency to get high fevers (up to 106) since she was six months old. I have to admit, there were times when I was so scared becuase of her high fever, I broke down in tears. I know that a fever is the body's natural way of fighting off infections, however when you see 106 degrees on the thermometer, it can be very scary. Most of the time it was due to an ear infection. She just turned four and I'm starting to like the idea of natural remedies more & more. After being frustrated with giving her both Motrin and Tylenol to fight a high fever, I got on the internet and found your website. What a blessing! I found the egg whites fever reducer and tried it. It worked!! It works and it's a wonderful alternative to OTC drugs. Thank you again for sharing an awesome remedy. Blessings to you!

My niece was running fever for 3 continuous days 2 months ago and we tried egg remedy, it really worked. 2 days back my daughter started running fever and i kept giving her Tylenol and Motrin every 4 hour,her fever would go down to 99.9 and then come back if i won't give medicine every 4 hour. In the morning i soaked paper towel in egg and wrapped around her feet and put two socks on each feet and left it on for hours and her temperature was normal within 2 hours. Fever was gone. Usually her fever would never go down without doctor's visit. Thank you

Egg whites work! I don't know how or why, but I can attest to their efficacy. My cousin Jill called me tonight. Jill was hysterical because her two-year-old Julie was burning up with fever... 105 degrees! She lives hours out in the country, her car is busted, and even an ambulance would have taken too long to get there. She had bathed Julie in cool water which brought the temperature down to 103.5, but it was starting to climb again. I found this website and described the eggwhite cure to Jill. She tried it immediately. Within ten minutes Julie's temp. dropped from 103.5 to 101.1! When Jill had first called, Julie was absolutely silent. Ten minutes after using the egg whites, I heard her giggling and playing with her older brother. Like I said previously, I don't know how or why the egg whites work, but they saved a baby's life tonight.

Are you supposed to warm the egg whites before applying to soles of feet? My niece had a fever of 103.5. She has epilepsy and her doctor has told my sister that if her fever gets above 101 and she can't get it down, she needs to take her to the hospital because it could cause her to have seizures. I was searching and found this website saying that egg whites on soles of feet was the fastest way to bring a fever down and I told my sister about it. She said she was going to try it and about 5 minutes later, she said as soon as she put the cloth soaked in egg whites on her feet, she began to have a seizure. I have been reading that it is no longer suggested that you put a child in cold water to bring down a fever because it could shock their body & actually cause their fever to spike so I was just wondering if the people who say the egg white remedy works, warmed them before apply to feet.

I decided to search for the internet for natural solutions on how to break a fever after my youngest son fever of 39 degrees did not subside on the fourth day. He is only 1 ½ age and ibuprofen I gave did not work for him. I am a believer of natural solutions but was skeptical of this egg white in socks thingy so I continued to allow him to burn out while I apply reiki on him. It took more than a week for his fever to subside and another week to fully recover to his old self. It was extremely tiring.
Then my second son age 4 got fever and also vomited. He was feeling crap, moaning and groaning. He can't eat anything even grapes and when he ate them, he threw up afterwards. I wanted to let him burn out but I got sick too with fever. His fever was hovering between 38.5 and 39.2 degrees. After two days I decided to give the egg white a try. On 1st August 07, at 4pm I make soaking paper towels with two huge egg whites and put it on the sole wrapped with cling wrap and socks. I measured his temp at 39.1 degrees. After 10 mins it went down to 38.5 and I was ecstatic however it went back up after another 10 minutes. He was complaining of itch and being uncomfortable but I persuaded him to hang on. I wanted to give up but faith made me continue. After 40 mins there were no changes so I waited. After an hour or so, I really wanted to give up as there were no changes at all. I felt it was making him sicker but somehow instinct tells me to hang on. 1 ½ hours passed by and to my disappointment, his fever stayed at 39 degrees. 2 hours gone by and there were still no changes. So finally I told myself to let it be for another half an hour or so before cleaning him up. 15 mins later and though the fever did not subside, the strangest thing happened. He started having a bit more energy and then he ask for grapes. So I gave him green grapes and he just ate and ate. No vomit and after a total of 3 hours later, fever still have not dropped but he got up feeling much better. I allow another ½ hour before washing him up and he wanted to play computer games. He was like back to his normal self and still his fever stood at 39 degrees. Later that night, his appetite came back and started eating all sorts of food other than milk as he had no appetite for milk. Before he slept at 9.30pm, his temp stood at 38.5. He wanted milk before he slept and he worked up at 4am for milk again as he never had milk for last two days. Other than that he slept like a baby. At 8.00am next morning, his temp went down to 37.6 and at 10am he was fully back to normal 36.7. His fever never came back.
Though the fever did not subside during the egg white treatment but I am pretty sure it helped him to build his immunity to the point of bringing back his energy. And most likely once the entire virus has been terminated, his fever came down. Amazing! I will continue use the treatment to see the consistency of its treatment. Thank you, Earthclinic for doing such good works.

Hiii all. Thank you so much for the egg remedy. My wife's Father was so sick that time, that his temperature was over 40 and maybe 41. All we tried did'nt help. like: sponging with wett cloths, putting cold wett towels on him and letting him drink cold water and juices. Opening the windows and putting the Ventilator on him. The towels worked only temperary and when we took them of, it was like they where just washed in hot water. We where quite scared, as it becomes dangerous for the brain, when it rizes over 41 I believe, so finaly I found the egg cure on this site. as I am always a forstander of Grandma's, remedies, I wanted to try it right away and guess what. With in 10 minutes, the temperature, started to go down a litle and after half an hour to an hour, he was totaly fine and out of danger. We ceapt checking him every hour, but the temp stayed down like that. A litle miracle. Thank you soooo much. Dechen, Michael and Omte

I work at a hospice house as a CNA. We had a patient who's temp was 102. We tried tylenol with no success, also used ice packs under arms and groin area. This only brought it down to 101.9. I thought I'd look on the internet to see if there was anything else I could do for the patient, that's when I came across your site on using egg whites. So I wetted 2 paper towels with the egg whites, wrapped his feet, then in plastic wrap and put footies on him. The remedy bought it down in 20 minutes to 101.4 and after 50 minutes, its down to 99.4. This made me and the patient a believer and I will definitely pass this info on to my co-workers. Thanks from me and the patient!
