Proverb[edit] feed a cold, starve a fever. 1  Expressing the common belief that eating more will cure the common cold, and eating less will cure a fever.  1887, J. H. Whelan, The Treatment of Colds, The Practitioner, vol.
Fever (which can accompany chills) is the body's natural response to a variety of conditions, such as infections. If the fever is mild (102Â°F [38.8Â°C] or less) with no side effects, you do not need to see a health care provider for treatment. You can treat the problem at home by drinking lots of fluids and getting plenty of rest. Evaporation cools the skin and reduces body temperature. Sponging with lukewarm water (about 70Â°F [21.1Â°C]) may help reduce a fever. Cold water may increase the fever because it can trigger chills. Medicines such as acetaminophen are helpful in fighting a fever and chills.
