Answers:
First fevers in and of themselves are not contagious and you are not a dumb blonde!!

However what is causing the fever might be! So no kissing, etc!. ;)

Fevers are actually the body's way to fight an infection and unless a person is prone to febrile seizures are not as dangerous as you might think!. Provided of course that you remain well hydrated and keep cool!. NO sweating it out!.!.that is not a good way to break a fever!. So no wrapping up in blankets or overdressing!.

Sponging with tepid or room temperature water is fine, but NO ice or cold water or rubbing alcohol!.

Drink plenty of fluids, sip often as opposed to guzzling!. Take tylenol or ibuprofen!. Wear light clothing and rest!.

Hope your boyfriend feels better!! Www@Answer-Health@Com

If its the flu then yeah you can catch it but a fever is also a body's way of fighting off infection, give him some tylenol and if he keeps fevering for over 2 days then I would see a doctor!. If its the flu the fever should break in 3 days but if its an infection then it'll just get worse and he'll need antibiotics, If its an infection then no not contagious!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would first rub rubbing alcohol all over his body (this opens the pores and allows the body to cool itself down)!. Fevers are not contagious but usually whatever the person had can be contagious during a fever!. Fevers can be very dangerous if they get too high!. He probably thinks he is cold and wants to bundle up under blankets but don't let him; give him a very light blanket or sheet instead!. Keep fluids in his body-juice, gatoraid, water!.

I a not an expert but I have children and have learned these techniques from their doctors!. Good luck!.

PS!. You can also call the after hours nurse from the hospital he goes to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

put him in a cool bath give, him tylonal,high fever in adults can be dangerous, if it reaches 105 take him to the emergancy room as this high of a temp can cause seizures, fevers, are not contagious but many times the sources of them are take his temp again 30 minutes after the bath, and get him to drink lots of water,if the fever doesnt break on its own in 6 hours call a docterWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes it is bad when you have a fever,,it means your body is trying to fight the infection off and sometimes it has to run its course,,but if it gets higher than that go the the ER, he nay need an antibiotic and he can dehydrate if he keeps his fever,,i had 3 kids and it would scare me when they were sick with the fever,,take 2 or 3 Tylenol every four hours to keep the fever down,,sure hope he feels better,,it is flu season time,,Www@Answer-Health@Com

fever themselves are not contagious however the illness he has may be contagious!. A fever that high is grounds for going to the hospital!. If you decide not to take him, get make is get rest and drink plenty of fluids so he doesn't get dehydrated!. Advil or Tylenol could help too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

fevers are not contagious, however you could get what he has and develop a fever!. give him advil, aleve, or motrin to get the fever down!. you could give him a cold face cloth!. if the fever continues to go up get him to a hospital!. high fevers could cause brain damage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A Fever Is Not Contagious!.

It may seem weird: But Keep a Cover on him!.
When you have a Fever you get the Chills!.

Have him Drink lots of Fluids, Water would work!.
;)

If the Fever Persists, see a Doctor!.
He could have the Flu, Pneumonia or an Infection!.

*He could have an Infection that requires Medical Attention!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Give your boy friend some Tylenol that will help Barack the fever!. Then when he gets ready to go to bed mix him a little whiskey with Lemon juice and water!. Then put a lot of covers on him and make him sweat!. He should feel better by morning if not go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Fevers are not, but the sickness causing it may be!. You need to get his temp down NOW! He is in danger of permanent brain injury!. Give him tylenol and get him to the hopital NOW!. He needs to be drinking water or gaterade constantly too as he is burning off all his body water quickly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think so!?
anyways, are you trying to find out how to make him feel better!?
well if you are!.!.!.
here's a natural remedy for you:
when he goes to bed, you slice up some raw potatos and put them on the soles of his feet and secure with socks, he'll wake up feeling like a million bucks!.!.!.or $100, it works!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, cool him down!.
Use a coo rag and put it under the arm (arm pit)!.
or tell him to place is near his groin!.(testis)
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
If the fever get's worst, or does not go down!. Seek medical attention!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

No its not contagious at all!. Let him drink plenty of water!. Dont panic, just let him take an adequate rest!. Don't let him take any medicine!. A fever is a symptom of infection, not a disease!. Maybe he has a flu, or maybe stressed in work, rest will do just fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

He can get brain damage if it doesn't go down, he could get seizures if it doesn't go down!.
If its a virus, yes it can be contagious!.
I would put him in a ice cold shower to lower his temperature!. Or give him motrin, or Ibuprofin!.

if he is throwing evreything he eats up!.!.!.!.!. try icecream or or a pop cicle!.!.!.!.!.the reson this works is that its not really food but more like a liquid!.!.!.so it doesnt trigger those nerves:):):):)Www@Answer-Health@Com

The sickness may be contagious, so yeah a fever can be contagious!.
Take hom to the doctor, or give him some fever reducer pills!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
