I tried the egg white remedy for a little bit over an hour, but my fever remained the same, so it didn't work for me...

Hello, I have a 2yr who has been running a high fever for 2 days now, ive been giving her children's Tylenol and it works slightly but then raises back up, she felt so hot tonight I got desperate and saw this site thought I'd try anything at this point to get through the night, I soaked the rags, wrapped her feet and put her socks over them and kept on for a half an hour and sorry to say was very disappointed her temp hasnt changed at all, so I am just taking her to the hospital. I think maybe this remedy works depending on what is causing the fever to begin with, if there is an infection present which requires antibiotics I dont think this remedy is gonna work, but thanks anyways.

I tried the egg whites remedy on my 5 year old who's had his roller coaster fever (varies from 100-103F) for 5 days now. I drenched the egg whites onto paper towels and wrapped them on his feet and then added socks for about 30 minutes. Other than the fact that it was cold and slimy, it did nothing to lower his fever. I am glad I found this website though, as I then tried the apple cider vinegar method (remedy #3), and that one worked!!! I also gave him 1 teaspoon of it mixed with 1 tsp of honey. In less than 5 minutes, all the gunk that had made him congested came oozing out! It was the strangest thing to witness (not to mention a bit gross) but he was very happy that he could breathe through his nose again! We did it one more time and he was able to cough up and expel a lot of the stuff that was in him. Hopefully this will be the turning point and will get rid of the flu faster!! Thanks for this website!

I was desperate to try something natural, but our daughter is very sensitive and afraid so our usual remedies (garlic paste on feet, garlic oil rub on chest, frozen towel on neck treatment) weren't practical for her. It took me almost an hour to convince her to try it, we soaked white clothes in the egg whites, wrapped her feet and put on big socks over them. Then we waited an hour and absolutely nothing happened. I was afraid she would start getting more upset at that point and also that the fever would get higher than 104, so we stopped.

I put egg whites on two face clothes and placed the egg white portion on the bottoms of my son's feet then covered with socks and a bath towel. There has been no change in his temperature in 45minutes. This did not work for us. Looking for another remedy,

No Significant Improvement after 50 minutes. After treating my girlfriends illness for a few days with homemade chicken soup, she recovered, but now I have a 100.4 degree fever. I have been using cold compresses for 40 min. I stayed up all night and I figured it was time to find an online remedy. I cracked two eggs, yolk and white, into two separate plastic grocery bags and tied them around my feet; then putting on my socks at 8:23 AM I waited. Now it is 8:33 and my temperature is 100.4;no change. Moving my feet and toes should circulate the eggs and allow the cooler part of the egg to mix with the warmer parts and average out the temperature so the temperature of the egg actually touching my feet is lower. A greater differnece in temperature between the eggs and the feet will produce a faster temperature drop between the eggs and the feet. This should lower the fever more by drawing the heat away from the head reapidly. Now it is 8:43 AM and my temperature is 100.0. After 20 minutes my temperature dropped 0.4 degrees. My girlfriend is pushing at all sorts of typical remedies like placing a bag of frozen vegetables on my belly and taking a couple of aspirin. Now at 8:53 my temperature is 100.2. After 30 minutes my temperature is down 0.2 degrees. At 9:03 AM my temperature is 100.0 degrees. After forty minutes my temperature is down 0.4 degrees. At 9:13 my temperature is 100.2 degrees. There has been no significant change in my temperature.

I've had a 101-102 fever for the past couple days, so I tried the egg whites remedy in an effort to break my fever. It did not work for me, and in fact my temperature rose as I used this remedy.

I soaked paper towels in six egg whites, wrapped the towels around my feet, covered my feet with 1 gallon freezer bags, then finally put some socks on. After completing the egg white application, I sat down on my couch and took temperature readings every five minutes. Here is the chronology:

2:03 pm - completed egg white remedy
2:08pm 100.8
2:13pm 100.6
2:18pm 100.4
2:23pm 100.6
2:28pm 101.5
2:33pm 101.5
2:38pm 101.9
2:43pm 101.8
2:48pm 101.8
2:53pm 101.8
2:58pm 101.8
3:03pm 101.7
3:08pm 102.0
3:13pm 101.8
3:18pm 102.1
3:23pm 102.1
3:28pm 102.4
3:33pm 102.2
3:38pm 102.3
3:43pm 102.3
3:48pm 102.2

I gave up after the good end of two hours, washed my feet, and proceeded to sweat the fever out by putting on sweats and covering up with a couple down comforters. By 9:00pm yesterday evening I had my temperature back down to 99.0, this having nothing whatsoever to do with applying egg whites to the soles of my feet.

P.S. - It would help if you made this feedback texarea larger in size.

My son had a fever for over 3 days. His temp reached up to 104, which we gave him Tylenol to bring it down. I was excited to try the egg whites hoping it would work. His temp was 102.3, after applying the egg whites with in 20 minutes it increase to 103.5. I'm not disappointed though..I believe in natural rememdies... :-)

Egg Whites Well I tried that for my three year old when she had a fever.... it didn't work??? Maybe there's a trick to it or something? She started crying because the egg whites were cold on her burning feet. I would really like to know how all of you handled that? Thanks!

The egg whites did not work. Her feet were soaked in egg whites. My wife's temp was 100.5 when I found this site. 20 minutes later after applying the egg whites correctly it was 101.8 an hour later 102.8. I took the egg whites off her feet and used very hot towels on her feet and forehead. As of now 3 hours later it dropped for the first time to 101.5 I will see if the hot towles work. Egg whites seemed to raise the temp.

As a final resort to get my daughter's fever down from 105. I tried the egg whites. In less than 10 min her temp was down to 101.9. Within he hour her temp started to creep up so went back to Pediatric Motrin. This afternoon I'm doing the egg whites again. It only seems to work momentarily. At least I can say I tried. Thanks!

Sorry to say that the egg white remedy didn't work for us. We tried for an hour but very little change. Didn't want to wait much longer at 104.1. Used Pedia Tylenol in the end. Glad it worked for others. Worth a try though. We soaked cloth in the egg white, wrapped around foot. Put food in plastic bag, then sock on. Anybody doing research on this? More information on how to apply it? Does it have to be cold egg whites out of the fridge. Maybe more description hints could help.

I am so thankful for this site. My daughter called me and my grand-son, 4 years old, had 104.9 and I was so scared. I told her to try the vinegar and Motrin and she did and nothing really happened, but then she tried the egg whites which I really thought it would not work, but in 20 minutes his fever went from 104.9 to 101.00, IT REALLY DOES WORK!!! Thank you so much at least my little grand-son did not have to be traumatized in the hospital with blood tests, etc... Thanks again

You made me a believer. On 02.10.06, my wife got a high fever of 103.2 and, after to resorting to all the over the counter medications, I found this article. I tried it exactly as recommended and with an hour her fever was down to 101. It took a bit longer for her to finally break the fever and start the "sweats" but thanks to you, she is now fine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My boyfriend had a 103.8 fever for a while, and after trying absolutely everything I came across this site. I read up on the egg whites to bring down a fever, I was skeptical at first, but I gave it a shot. Within a half hour his fever had gone down from 103.8 to 100.1 .. WOW. Amazing!! Thank you very much!!!!!

I have tried egg whites remedy and it really helped, thanks millions. My sister had a fever after liver biopsy and I didn't want to continue with Panadol, so, when I found this site, I tried what you recommended.

My son's temp was 102.6f and was trying to get him to sleep. Within less then 10 minutes, his temp dropped from 102.7 to 100.8 and he was asleep in less then 15 minutes. Glad that I came across this one, never heard of egg whites for fevers this one is one that I will remember.

I had scalded my hand while making homemade jam and fortunately my father-in-law was present and had me soak it in eggwhites and then drenched a papertowel and placed it on my hand and wrapped my hand in a small towel for 30 minutes. The pain was immediately gone and did not return. I have no marks from the burn either. MIRACULOUS!

My 5 year old had a high fever for about 40 hours. It would only come down temporarily after a cool bath and then spike back up. On 6/25 at 3:00 am my child woke me up and again had a fever of 103. Out of desperation I got on the internet and saw the egg white remedy on your website. Although I was very doubtful of the effectiveness I went ahead and dipped a paper towel in egg white and wrapped my child's feet and covered them with socks. At 3:20 the fever was down to 101 and by 3.30 it was at 100! I just took it again at 9:30 in the morning and it is normal! After battling his stubborn fever I just can't believe that this worked, but it did. Thanks!

This is by far the weirdest thing I have ever heard of for curing a fever... but it works! I had a fever tonight that was rising rapidly. I was desperate, so I had my husband help me with this strange concoction. But after about 20 minutes, my fever was up to 101.9! The problem: he hadn't wrapped my feet up - he had simply put some paper towels on the bottom of my feet. So we decided to give it another try... the right way. We soaked two paper towels in egg whites, and wrapped each one around my feet. Literally, within ONE MINUTE, I started feeling really hot (I had been really cold up until that time). Could these be the sweats you get when your fever breaks? No, not so fast, I thought, and assumed my fever had gone up. But when I checked it, it was 101.8, and about 15 minutes later it was 101. Now, about 30 minutes later, it is 100.5. My husband thought I was crazy when I suggested this method - but he is now a believer! We are definitely going to be using egg whites to fight fevers in the future!

My son had a fever of 101 this morning. By noon it was up to 103. I checked Earth Clinic for remedies and found this one. We applied the eggs whites and within half an hour, his fever had dropped to 101. Great remedy!

The flu, a bug was going around. Last week my 60 year old husband had awful body chills that often come before a high fever. His fever then started to rise and rise to 102-F where it stayed for hours. No amount of cool cloths, etc seemed to work. Desperate, I went online and Googled for some help and found your site. I raced into the kitchen, soaked two paper towels in chilled egg whites and wrapped them around his feet and added warm, dry socks (note: he truly hated this feeling and let me know in no uncertain terms!) As I hovered over him there was initally no relief. I was making both of us crazy, so I sat down quietly and took his temparture about 30 minutes later...the fever had broken and within the hour his temparture was back to 98.8-F. When I took off his sock and unwrapped the towels it was amazing to see the egg whites COOKED! I have passed along your site and this remedy to many friends. Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much!)
