  • I have a fever right now, its horrible

  • have your patient drink milk if they can handle it they will need the calories and protein will help stave off dehydration.

  • because calories are burned very quickly along with vomiting if this is the case, malnutrition can set in very quickly and more food than normal may need to be eaten because vomiting means they are not getting calories from food from fever burning calories as well as from the vomiting. dont let your patient sleep during fever, have them sit upright and rest after simply because it is nearly impossible to monitor their health and know if thier comatose from fever or sleeping.

  • simply drinking water and eating protein and bread products should help. when a fever starts calories are burned very quickly do to the heartrate accelerating at low grade. stay away from sugary foods or acidic foods, try bread, unsalted crackcers. another thing to try is to have the patient hold thier nose while they eat as vomiting may be a smell related issue as well as expelling virus, fever has made thier smell overly sensitive. much like when you gag smelling sour milk.

  • =D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she needs to go to the restroom
