Black tea prepared with black pepper powder, dry ginger powder and basil(tulsi) leaves. This tea can be taken 3 to 4 times a day .

I get goosebumps when I have a fever, I have a feeling it's part of how the body heats itself up when trying to fight an infection and goosebumps are part and parcel of this. If possible, remove his t-shirt too! Let as much cool air reach his skin as possible if he's not willing to take any medicine to bring his fever down.Stick a fan on if you can and sponge him down with some tepid water. Covering him in freezing cold water will often trigger the body to start fighting the cold and heat up (only do this if his temperature is dangerously too high, reaching 104 Farenheit / 40 Celsius in which case you should call an ambulance)
