  2. 2
    Dress in comfy clothes. This is no time to be a fashion diva. Drag out your rattiest, most comfortable nightgown or pajamas and robe. Put on some socks.
  3. 3
    Put an ice pack or damp rag on your forehead. This will cool your body down temporarily and reduce the fever faster. You could also soak a washcloth in a bowl of cool water, then place it on your forehead. This will help your body to lower it's temperature, thus reducing the fever faster.
  4. 4
    Get someone to massage your head, neck and back. If you can get them to do your arms, legs, hands and fingers, it will feel really good and help reduce some of the aches related to the fever. If you don't have someone to rub you, then just use an electric massager.
  5. 5
    Apply a damp cloth to legs, feet and neck. Only apply until the cloth is warm because excess application only makes the situation worse by cause shivering which increases core body temperature.
  6. 6
    Take a lukewarm shower. Taking a hot shower would increase your body temperature, and a cold shower may induce shivering which would also raise your body temperature as it generates heat.
  7. 7
    Stay in an air conditioned room. You want to have a constant cold room temperature because this also helps lower your body temperature.
  8. 8
    Let the fever run its course. As long as the fever does not exceed 102 degrees, it actually helps your body to fight infections and eliminate toxins.

10         Kate Morgan Hotel del Coronado The Hotel del Coronado is a stunning Victorian beachfront resort hotel in the very southern California city of Coronado, just south of San Diego. It was only four years open when a beautiful young woman named Kate Morgan checked in on November 24th, 1892. She was apparently very ill for the time she spent at the hotel, and it was later speculated she had taken a large dose of quinine in an effort to induce miscarriage of an unwanted child. That she was distraught there was little argument, so when she was found on the outside steps leading to the beach on November 29th, with a single bullet hole in her temple and a gun nearby, the death was quickly ruled a suicide. From that point on, strange phenomena have been reported at the hotel: strange noises, lights flickering on and off, and even the occasional ghostly woman in Victorian garb wandering the halls.
