When the temperature gets too high, there are two ways to bring it down. One is to rub alcohol on the chest, hands and back. The other is to put a cold compress on the forehead, made with cold water and red wine vinegar. I still use the second; not long ago I did it with John (my boyfriend) and it worked.
Make a steam inhalation with a bowl of hot water and add a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda.
