My mother's favorite for reducing a fever (and i hated it w/ a passion!)
Take about 2-3 potatoes (depends on size) and slice about 1" thick. Sprinkle with salt and place in a dishtowel still in sliced formation. Wrap lengthwise in towel and then place towel around forehead and secure in back of head with safety pin. When the potatoes turn black the fever is broken.
I hated this remedy because the potato headband was hot and it made me sweat, but darned if it didn't work every time. Even my hubby has had this done to him as a child and it worked for him.
No tylenol, no aleve. Just potatoes and salt.
