Can you get a fever from onions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sticking a sliced onion or sliced garlic under the armpits for at least a few hours is said to raise the temperature of the body a few degrees. A better alternative to this is simply not faking a fever or being honest about your reasons for wanting to avoid whatever the fever would excuse you from.

How do you get fever for my self?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are trying to avoid going to school you can fake a fever pretty well by sticking the thermometer under the bulb of a lamplight -

but make sure you only leave it there for a few seconds about 15, otherwise the temperature will get too high and anything above 103 is cause for extreme concern, and above 106 well you technically are experiencing brain damage-if not death

so your mom will know you are faking it-

101 to 102 is the best range- too sick to go to school but not sick enough to worry

How high of a fever is too high for a 2 month old?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All fevers are too high for a 2 month old. You should always contact your doctor when an infant has any fever and do so as soon as possible. If the infant gets dehydration from the fever, it can cause serious, even life-threatening problems. Fever usually means infection, and infants do not have the immune system maturity to deal with it on their own. Always contact the doctor for infant and young children's symptoms of fever for advice.
