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?

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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 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 think the socks come in especially handy if you have a child you're using this on. They aren't likely to sit with their feet in a plate of egg whites for very long.

Just did the egg whites. My temperature went up from 101.1 to 102!!! My head is clearer though. But don't know if the eggs had anything to do with it. Oh well!

Unfortunately the egg whites did not work in bringing down my husband's fever. He seemed a little cooler but fever came right back (1/2 an hour later). I soaked paper towel in egg whites and put on the bottom of his feet. I put large plastic gallon size bags around his feet to keep egg whites off blankets. I kept it there for 15 minutes-20 minutes. I think it is always safe to have some store bought fever reducer on hand.

egg whites for fever: I really wanted this one to work. My 2 year old son had a high fever so I used the egg whites on his feet, of course they were spilling around everywhere so I wrapped his feet with handkerchiefs. Then put socks over it He looked ridiculous and uncomfortable, it was messy and his fever kept going up. I tried it all day long, mostly his fever just stayed the same or went up. Didn't work for us.

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.

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!

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.
