How do you bring down a fever?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.

I'm a 16-year-old girl and I've read on Google that girls stop growing two years after they get their period. But I've also seen other research saying that's not true, and now I'm really confused. Can you tell me if it's still possible for me to grow taller at 16? I'd really appreciate some information on this, so I can know what to believe.
It's a common misconception that girls stop growing after two years of menstruation. While growth typically slows down after puberty, many girls can still grow taller in their late teens, up to around age 18. It depends on individual factors like genetics and nutrition. If you're 16, there's still a chance for some growth!
