My 10 year old son woke me up at 12:30am. His temp registered at 104.5. I gave him a tylenol, which he proceeded to throw back up. Dropped him into a cool tub and ran to the internet. I found your site and thought your remedies sounded silly. There was no way eggs would work. Well, the tub did not drop his temp and he was still throwing up, so down to the kitchen I went. We got a big laugh out of the slimy, cold feeling of egg whites on bare feet, but we wrapped them up, covered them with his Dad's socks and waited. Within a few minutes his temp dropped to 103.4. 10 minutes late, down to 102.6. Within 30 minutes he was at 100.5. Just not sure how long I need to leave the eggs on him feet. Will definitely use this remedy again. Thank you!

My daughter's temperature started at 101.7, then to 103.8 even after Children's Motrin. I wrapped her feet with egg white clothes and her fever was down to 101.9 within 20 minutes!

Hi, I am very grateful to you for posting this method. It helped to reduce my daughter's fever form 39.7 (celsius) to around 38.8 in about 30 minutes. I was alone with her and started to panic as her temperature was going up and up. I started to check the Internet in an attempt to find a natural remedy when I came accross this method and implemented it at once. It was back in April but I couldn't find time up until now to post what I wanted to tell you - a big "THANK YOU".

My son had a fever all day today. I had overspent at the grocerystore and just didn't think he was going to get sick. Needless to say, the fever came on quick. I was worried because I don't have a thermometor and could not check his temperature. I called his dad, and he hasn't called me back. So, I did what any single mother with a fevered child would do. Look for home remedies. I was a little reluctant at first, but then thought, well, I need to try something. With in the first ten minutes of application, his fever was starting to go down. I am so thankful for this site. Thank you very much!

I was desperate. Tylenol was not working. I read this and my mom helped me try it. My temperature was 101. I could literally feel the heat moving, from my head to the back of my neck to the middle of my back, to my thighs down to the bottom of my feet. within about 40 minutes my temerature went down to 99.8. This really works. Thank you.

Egg Whites used to reduce the fever in my 11 month old baby girl. My wife and I were up with our daughter about all of last night with a high temperature. Through the evening and night we gave her a couple of doses of fever reducing medicine for infants with no results. At about 6:30am I whispered a prayer for wisdom and then it came to me to do an internet search of home remedies for fever. You see, I pray to a very practical God, and He answers. I found your website and the egg white remedy jumped out at me. Being raised in the south, I was not afraid to try this at all. Within minutes of placing the egg white soaked cloths on her feet, we could feel a noticable difference in her body temp. Thank you so much for making this info available.

Absolutely wonderful.. Thank you guys so much. My 5 month old had a really good fever, of course theThermomater is nowhere, out of vinegar, and not to keen on baby Tylenol. I google baby fever and this website came up. I have never heard of Egg Whites before. 3-5 minutes fever was Gone. Awesome Thank you guys very much, and thanks to the Ancestors who passed this on. There's not a lot of hippy remedies these days, everything is drugs. I will keep this as a favorites page. Cheers, Falken and Baby Mayana

I was very reluctant to try it but because my 11 year old son has had high fevers in the past and medication has always worked however this time no such luck. I googled the remedy and came up with this. I followed the intructions as close as possible. Before the treatment his fever was 103.8 and within 15 minutes it dropped to 102.7 and 20 minuets after that it was 101.3. His fever went down enough to let him get some sleep. It worked great. I dont know how it did it but it worked. I will pass this on to anyone who is ever in the same position. Thank you.

I used rags soaked in egg whites on feet to reduce fever.. My son has had a fever for 7 days. His fever has ranged from 100.5 to 104.2 He has been in the hospital 1 day to receive IV fluids for dehydration and received further testing...all of which were negative. He had only slightly elevated white blood cell count (16,000). I've been alternating acetominaphen with ibuprofen. I've also used lukewarm baths when the fever was over 103. Nothing however ever took the fever below 100.5 Today a friend found your website. She called me and asked me to try this. For some reason, I immediately said..I'll try it. My son cried and didn't want the squishy cold egg white rags on his feet, but my daughter and I worked to pull my husband's larger socks over them and I left them on 2 hrs. His fever went from 102 to 100.2 He then laid down for a nap and woke at 4pm...which is when his fever usually begins to spike. He had NO FEVER! He was even below at 96 degrees! While I realize the fever may come back, I am amazed enough to want to write and share with others...try this!

My 11 year-old boy had a high fever of 103.5 and in an attempt to find something that would work, I googled for a way to bring the fever down and stumbled upon your website. My wife soaked some paper towels with the eggwhites and put them on his feet and held them in place with some of my socks.....yes, he told us it felt "weird in a slimy way" but after 30 minutes the fever had gone down to 100.2. THANK YOU so much for sharing this remedy!

Infected bursitis caused elevated body temperature. Pharmacy provided medications would not reduce temperature. I tried your egg white cure and my temperature went from 102.7 to 99.6 in two hours. I am a senior(65 ) and had never heard of this before. Thank you for this very imformative and helpful site.

Egg whites cured fever for a baby 5months old. I really want to thank you because that really worked. i didn't know what else to do. in the hospital they really didn't do anything, they just give him fluids. im so thankful i got in the internet -- that was my last option. next time i know to get in the internet first.

Desperate as my fever went higher than in many years (102.6), I googled "how to break a fever", and read the egg whites remedy and testimonials. I used 3 egg whites for 2 size 8 feet, whipped them a bit to blend them, sat down over a big plastic bag on the floor, dipped washcloths in the egg whites, put one on each foot, put a small plastic bag on each foot, tied a long sock around my ankle, and went to bed. My temp dropped from the 102.6 to 99 by morning. I was able to walk with the baggies on my feet; the washcloths were squishy, but very effective. Thank you for the tip and for this site.

My 3 yr.old daughter, was running a very high fever and it seemed like i had tried everything as far as Motrin and Tylenol, finally i typed in on the google search engine, "how to break a high fever" and it came up with this website. I had never even heard of the egg white remedy, but it really worked within a few hours, her fever went from 103 degrees to 98.6, and when i took the washclothes off her feet, her feet felt really hot, so i knew then that it had really worked. thank you so much!!!

Yep... it sure works. I actually knew about this since I was little, my family is all about natural remedies, but now, as I'm sitting in bed with eggwhites in my socks I am contemplating: what is it exactly in the eggwhite (potato, onion or vinegar) that does the trick? Anyone?

Hi there, I had been having an intense fever for the past two days, and when it got up to 103 today, I did a quick search and found your site. The egg whites on soles of feet remedy really did the trick! I had my feet wrapped for about 45 minutes, and about an hour later, my fever dropped down to 101, then about an hour after that it read 98.3. Wonderful! Thank you so much for the fever buster! What a relief :).

Applying egg whites soaked in paper towels to the bottom of my feet, then using saran wrap and wrapping them, then socks, my fever is nearly gone! I am so amazed, at 11:30 am my temp was 102.5, I applied the egg whites at that point and at 12pm my temp was 101, at 1pm by temp was 99.8 and now at 1:15 my temp is 99.4. My fever has been spiking for 4 days now and I feel so much better! After 2 hours the egg whites are still cold on the soles of my feet.

I am trying the egg white remedy to bring down high fever. My 9 year old son has had a low grade fever for 2 days witha cough. But tonight (Feb 4th) about 8 pm his fever was 103.1. So I went online to get info on how to break a high fever. I saw the remedy for egg whites. I thought it wont hurt to try it, because the lukewarm bath didnt help. So I soaked the cloths in egg whites put them on his soles and put socks on him. After about 30 mins I checked his fever & it has gone down to 101.6. I will try this before trying anything else first. Thanks for the info, very much appreciated.

My little brother woke up this morning with a fever of 102. We gave him motrin and he took a short hour nap. he woke up with a 104.1 fever! He was disoriented and not his happy-go-looney self. I googled "how to break fever" and came to your site. Egg whites sounded like an old wives tale, but i had nothing to lose. So, i soaked two paper towels in four egg whites and wrapped his feet in plastic wrap. i then put my socks on him. i checked his temp 15 mins later and it dropped to 102.3. Weird remedy, but IT WORKS! THANK YOU!!!!!

My husband is here for his first winter from Nigeria. He is used to getting malaria related fevers so when this one hit at 3 a.m. last night he was confused and scared...so was I, even though I knew he was experiencing flu symptoms. I used cold compress and gave tylenol but it continued to climb. I wanted to stop it before it went too high. When I jumped on your sight, it was 101.7. I tried the egg white remedy by soaking paper towels in 3 egg whites and placing them on the bottom of his feet. I then covered them with plastic store bags and put his socks on...through as much protest as he could muster. After 15 minutes, I checked his temp again and it was 101.8. I quietly prayed and trusted that this remedy was God's wisdom and would work. I asked if he was still cold he said no and that his hands and feet were hot. His fever broke soon after and he began to sweat. After an hour it was down to 101.1 and this morning it was 99.5. Thanks, I will share this with all!!!
EC: Fantastic news, thank you for sharing! We are excited that this remedy will cure a malaria fever. Yahoo!

I tried this last night with my 9 yr old son, after reaching a fever of 104.5, I tried the egg whites with small produce bags on his feet with socks over the top. By 0200hrs his fever was down to 103 and by 0600 he had no fever at all and he was soaking wet from sweat. I will try this remedy anytime!

FEVER: I tried the egg white trick for fever, it worked great, got home last night from work my husband was burning up with a fever, he had the central heat on so high I had to put short sleeves on, plus he had an electric floor heater blowing on him, and he had three blankets on him and he was still shaking from the fever being so high, his stomach was hurting also, I fixed him some warm water with lemon juice ACV & Baking Soda to sip on while I fixed the egg whites up. I then put the organic egg whites on a handkerchief, put on the bottom of his feet, covered with a plastic bag and then put socks on his feet, I set a timer for thirty minutes, to see if it really worked that fast. In 15 minutes he was sleeping like a baby and snoring, in 30 minutes I checked his fever and it was gone and he was still asleep, I woke him up in another hour and ask him how he felt, he said he didn't have anymore fever but his stomach was still hurting. Woke up this morning still no fever, the fever never came back.
