#Fever Treatment

[clove-pinks]

In the second illustration in your post about 1840s men with unusually short hair, the fellow in question's hair appears to be not only short, but shaved—would that have just been a style choice, or an indication that the gentleman in question was recovering from an illness, or what? It does seem very unusual for the time period.

Reposting the pic to answer this ask:

(By Paul Gavarni, 1841.)

I knew that early 19th century people sometimes shaved the head as a treatment for fever, and a brief search shows that this persisted into the later 19th century (at least). This 1861 medical treatise on fevers still recommends shaving the head as a potential treatment option.

But if his head was shaved from illness, why would he be in a clothing advertisement? Or its alternate version, a comic in Le Charivari about young men who freely spend money on clothes. Handbook of English Costume in the 19th Century has a section on men's hairstyles for every decade of the 19th century, and there's nothing about short hair as a fashionable alternative look for the 1840s. Fashionable men's hair was quite long, worn chin-length and sometimes curled.

The two 1840s short hair examples are from Gavarni but I'm not aware of this being a French thing, either. French men and English men of the time period definitely had different trends in facial hair (more beards and moustaches in France, more side whiskers in Britain); but the men's hairstyles are more or less the same.

My only other wild guess is this might be something about wearing a wig for fancy dress?? Gavarni was famous for depicting the Paris Carnival and various balls, after all. Maybe this young man shaved his head for a travestissement (??). I'm stumped to see such short hair on a fashionable 1840s man. It's also possible that his head was shaved for fever and this was common enough to see some representation in popular art.

Zelda looked around and pinched the bridge of her nose when she saw Link wasn’t at the meeting. Her father waved his hand with a fond smile. “Let the boy sleep in. We have time to wait for the meeting.”

She pursed her lips. “Yes, but our people are ready to settle on the Surface. I’m going to go wake him up.”

She heard a sigh but she went inside the academy, finding Link’s door with ease and pushing it open, ready to scold him. He was still lying in bed, blankets tangled around him and his arms in an awkward position. She stepped up and softened once she noticed the sweat beading on his forehead and the way his expression was slightly pained. She gentle laid the back of her hand over his forehead and winced. “That’s definitely a fever,” She murmured to herself.

She gently shook his shoulder and a clenched fist swung at her face, just barely missing as she stepped back. She flinched but remembered she wasn’t supposed to awaken him with touch. “I’m sorry. Link? Are you awake?”

“Oh,” Link blinked. “Mhm.”

“I think you have a fever, can you tell me how you feel?”

“Fine.”

Zelda narrowed her eyes. “You’re burning up.”

Link chewed his lip, avoiding her sharp gaze. “R’lly nauseous…warm…sweaty.”

“Well, let’s get you out of this blanket and then I can go get you something to cool you down. How does that sound?” She asked and saw him nod slightly.

He pushed himself up and tore the blanket off of him, Zelda helping a little bit. Then she went off, hoping he would stay awake for a little longer. She grabbed a cloth and ran it under freezing cold water. She wrung some of the water out and then came back, carefully placing it on his head. He let out a small puff of air, and she started to walk out of the room when she heard a soft voice calling out to her. “Zel…”

“Yeah?”

“Love you so much…don’t go…”

Her heart ached and she hurried back to his side. “I love you too, Link.”

She would go eventually but she wanted him to know she wasn’t really leaving her.

I'm assuming this is because I'm sick and I feel better reading sick fics TT

Thank you Uni- I loved reading this and now will reread it fifty more times

I’ve spent all day in bed with a sore throat and a low grade fever so—currently taking any and all streaming movie/tv/youtube recommendations bc so far all I’ve watched is Taskmaster (for the fourth or fifth time through lol)

[gumdropgamespot]

I won't be able to participate in simblreen tonight, unfortunately. 😭

[allthewhumpygoodness]

Ok I was reading this book about herbalism and it was talking about different ways to treat fevers at home (yes this is why I was reading it I know ya'll won't judge me you'd do the same) and it mentioned cold wraps???? So if you don't know that's basically soaking a bedsheet in tepid water and wrapping it snuggly around someone with a fever from feet to shoulders, leaving it for ten minutes or so, then removing it and transporting the person back to a warm and dry place (preferably in bed of course). Which I found...inspiring to say the least.

[crvwly]

okay i know i mostly chose to have nine animals (jesus fucking christ, i swear three of them just showed up unannounced) but if they could all stop having problems within the same business month that would be STELLAR

[melisssg99]

I am shocked!

I went to Dutch Comic Con last Sunday.

All my friends who also went are sick.

My partner had a slight itch in his throat so he had a big spoon of our Garlic Honey!

Me however, because of my chronic illness,(and possible autoimmune disease)

my immune system is quite terrible.

So I started having terrible symptoms!

Some spoonfulls of Garlic Honey for my throat and health,

I had an earache, so a garlic clove in my ear and some chopped union on the soles of my feet and within 2 days my symptoms are GONE!

While my poor friends are still sick,

I am doing quite well!

No need for paracetamol, cough medicine or anything from the drug store.

Just simple garlic honey and union.

Isn't it crazy?!

Simple things you probably already have at home seem to work better than the stuff they sell you in drugstores.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          Archons don’t get sick. They can't catch the flu, and are immune to stomach bugs. Common colds may as well tremble in their presence. Mortal medicine has little to no effect on their divine selves, as do the illnesses they contract and spread every once in a blue moon. Allergies are a different case, as they are not sickness, rather just reactions to things of the mortal world- Barbatos would know first hand. But a genuine illness afflicted upon one of The Seven? That would simply be unheard of!

          But most of the archons still have their gnosis in their possession, and without the chess-like pieces they are much weaker, both in terms of their power and general vulnerability. No one had thought to inform the anemo archon of this information, especially after his gnosis was taken rather painfully by The Fair Lady.

          At first Venti thought of the symptoms as merely his feline allergy rearing its head again. After all, he had been in the city earlier in the day- stray cats roaming the streets were a common sight in Mondstadt (and they seemed to really like him, furry bastards). 

          Surely that would explain the fatigue and the headache and blurry vision and puffy eyes and a particularly persistent case of the sniffles.. right?

          Venti made it to the Whispering Woods without blacking out or injury. With a less-than-graceful 'oomph', he dropped to the grass, and his lyre tumbled to the grass beside him with a low thump. He attempted to sit up and lean against the tree close by, but a lack of energy and faint body aches made it rather difficult. Okay, that's fine, it could be worse- he could've been in the middle of nowhere in Liyue with Geovishaps after him in such a state. 

          The bard closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to steady himself before he attempted again to sit up. This time it was a lot more successful, but still left him achy and fatigued. He leaned back against the rough bark, closing his eyes again to try and drown out the pounding headache at the back of his skull. It felt like someone was whacking him over the head with a flat end of a claymore. At least it was dark outside, so the sun wouldn't bother him like it did earlier in the day.

          There were no monsters in sight, so maybe it wouldn't hurt to doze off for a bit...

~=+=~

          Venti wasn't sure when he came to consciousness again, but he definitely knew the surroundings looked vastly different from before.

          He attempted to bolt, fearing he'd been kidnapped, only to fall off of something..fuzzy? and tumble face-first onto the floor. Everything felt like it was spinning, so it was hard to tell where exactly he was, which only added to how horrible he physically felt.

          Chills seeped into his bones, sending shivers down his spine and a cold sweat down his neck. Lights burned overhead, leaving him slightly overwhelmed by the heat and brightness. The headache remained, and as far as he could tell, it either stayed the same or worsened since he blacked out. Everything hurt all over, both from the fall and pre-existing body aches, and his limbs felt like jelly beneath him. He groaned, trying to hide from the light and in his arm instead.

"Taking that as the cue you've finally woken up.." Venti heard a familiar voice call, followed by footsteps.

          A head of teal hair poked their head into the room, immediately finding him on the floor with a sad smile. Of course his partner found him. At least it was someone he trusted to not have ill intent.

"Oh, you poor dear... you're in a worse state than I found you last night," Carmen cooed, approaching before kneeling on the floor next to Venti. "I'm glad I found you when I did... are you okay?"

"Mmh..."

          Seems he had little energy to speak as well. Lovely.

"Shit..," Carmen murmured as they reached forward, cupping his cheek in their hand as they slightly lifted his head up. "That's strange, your braids seem a little duller than usual... Hold still for me for a moment, I need to test somethin'.."

          Vae leaned to press a gentle kiss to the other's forehead, pulling away after a few seconds. Their expression, initially one of mild worry, shifted to one of concern, almost fear.

"You're burning up, lovebug... I thought it was a hangover, but you didn’t smell like wine, an’ I fear this might be worse," they attempted to joke, despite the worry lacing vaer tone. "Hopefully it’s nothing more than just a bad cold. I'm gonna try to get you back on my bed, okay?"

          Now that they said it, that does sound right..part of him wondered why vae didn’t bring him to his own room, but maybe they panicked..rightfully so, but still.

          Venti gave a weak nod, before returning his head to the cold floor beneath him. He lazily watched them as they stared with narrowed eyes for a few moments in silent contemplation. Carmen had carried him around multiple times, too many to count, but he's always been upright or standing prior to.. not exactly ill and flat on his stomach on the floor.

          After minutes of struggling through various attempts, Carmen finally had him sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning against their body for support. Once up there, they started to remove most of his layers in an attempt to cool him down a little bit. One hand gingerly undid the bow securing his cape while the other reached to grab the fallen beret off the floor. He managed to kick off his loafers himself, and vae moved behind him to loosen the laces on his corset. They even undid his braids, setting the hair elastics on the bedside table and carding their fingers through the sections to loosen the braids. Every garment removed was carefully set aside to fold up later, and by the time they finished, all he was left in was his shirt, shorts, and tights. 

          Afterwards, they gently pushed him to lay down, almost pulling the blanket over him before deciding against it.

“Is this helping? Do you feel a bit cooler yet?”

          Venti whined in response, curling up on his side.

          They sighed, gently placing their hand on his head and scratching at his scalp. A sad smile formed on their lips as they watched him lean into their touch almost instantly, like magnetic attraction.

"If you're gonna be okay being alone for a few minutes, I'm gonna grab a few things from the kitchen, okay?"

          Carmen tried to hide their laugh at the pout their partner had, glazed-over puppy eyes staring at them under dark hair. It’d be cute if he wasn’t sick..

"I'll be quick, I promise.. you don't feel like you're gonna throw up, right?"

          They felt him shake his head from under their palm, vaer hand moving with him.

"Then you'll be okay for five minutes, sweet pea.."

          They leaned over to gently place a kiss on the flushed tip of his nose, removing their hand from his head before leaving for the door.

          Venti watched them leave, staring off into space. Maybe the heat was getting to be too much, but he didn’t have the energy to use his anemo abilities to cool himself off.

          So, he just stared at the dark brown door, which then became staring at the darker brown floor, and then nothing at all as his vision blurred. Why was it so hard to focus, was this normal? It couldn’t be, but why was it so difficult to keep his eyes focused- did it really take that much energy?

          He sniffled quietly, rubbing at his eyes- maybe that would help?

          When he pulled his hand away, he saw a brown and white blur against the wall. 

“Mhh…” he groaned, trying to move himself closer to the edge of the bed to see it. Of course, he could only get so far in his weakened state.

          The blur looked..scarily reminiscent of someone. The colors were in all the right places, it had to be…

          They were dead though. He saw it with his own eyes. Why were they here if they’re dead?? 

          Too absorbed in his thoughts, he didn’t notice them come closer until pale blue eyes were staring right into his. He tensed, startled, before trying to reach out for them. His hand went right through them, and for a moment he felt the color drain from his face.

“Wh..”

          They’re..they’re gone, but they’re here! But they’re gone… But they’re here…

          Venti kept trying to touch them, to grab their hand, feel some sort of warmth and solidity in their form. Pale hand kept swiping at air, cutting through the image of his late best friend.

“No.. no no no no-”

          His hand shook as he kept trying, until it fell limply back to the mattress, until his vision became too blurry to see them completely.

“Don’t go..come back..” he pleaded, sniffling.

          The white and brown figure backed away slowly, out through the open doorway.

“Come back..”

          The god’s eyes burned, and this time he rubbed at them with his sleeve. When he pulled his arm away, he saw red.

“Carmen..? Carmen..!” he choked out, clawing at the sheets, oblivious to how they left no streaks of blood. “Carmen.. ‘m bleeding..”

          Venti saw the figure slowly return, kneeling at his side again.

“Why’s..why’s it back? Carmen..!” 

          He kept crying out for his partner, increasingly overwhelmed from the light, and the blood, and the image of his dead best friend taunting him with its presence, and-

“I’m here, sweetheart..”

          In the white and brown figure’s place was his partner, looking down at him in concern. Carmen gently cupped his cheek with warm, pale hands, wiping away the tears with vaer thumb. If his eyes didn’t deceive him, he could’ve sworn they flinched.

“Shhh, it’s okay..” they cooed, “I’m here, you’re safe…”

“But..but ‘m bleeding-”

“Bleeding?”

          They watched him raise his hand to show him. He didn’t understand why they took his hand in theirs almost instantly and gently squeezed it- why would they immediately touch something bloody?

“There’s no blood, sweet pea, I promise…it’s a bit wet with tears, but that’s about it..” they reassured him, letting go of his hand after a few moments.

“Oh..”

“Is that why you’re crying?”

          He nodded, rubbing at his eyes again. “Mhmm… an… an’ I saw someone..”

“Oh?” Carmen tilted their head slightly. “That’s..a bit worrying. Who exactly did you see..?”

“Mhh…my, my friend..”

          Thankfully, knowing of the archon’s background, it didn’t take long to figure out who he most likely meant, despite a few people fitting the description of just ‘his friend’. If it were one of the others, they’d be mentioned by name, but because this one wasn’t, then that meant…

“I see…”

          It broke their heart to see him so upset, between the illness and likely resurfaced grief. Poor bastard’s had to put up with so much shit- not that they haven’t either, but there’s a difference between being an immortal god that’s been around for centuries and an immortal elf that’s been around for even less time.

          They pulled away for a moment, crawling up onto their bed to sit next to the god. Vae gently turned vaer partner over onto his other side, frowning at how he winced from the movement. Seems those body aches haven’t left…

“I’m sorry it took so long to come back, by the way..I got sidetracked trying to make soup..” They eyed the tray they put on the bedside table, watching the steam rise from the radish and veggie soup bowl. “I did get the thermometer though…let’s see, just ooone second-”

          Carmen reached over the god and plucked the thermometer off the tray. They pressed a button, waited for the beep, then carefully stuck it under his tongue.

“Good..it’s only for a minute, I know it’s uncomfortable..” 

          They held the thermometer with one hand and used the other to play with Venti’s hair in an attempt to distract him from the uncomfortable sensation. Thank goodness Fontaine made these a while ago- they couldn't imagine how people used to figure out temperatures without them.

          Finally, the thermometer beeped, and they removed it to look at the number.

“Shit… 39.4. No wonder you were hallucinating your friend…”

          Carmen sighed, setting the thermometer down before trying to move the god to sit up against the pillows. He let vaer do so, not having the energy to do it himself or protest other than a wince of pain, to which they mumbled an apology. 

          As soon as he was sorted out, they reached for the tray on the bedside table, deciding it best to maybe get some form of sustenance in his system to help combat the illness. There’s not much that can be done, given mortal medicine’s a hit or miss, but that has to work, right?

          Vae was about to lift a spoonful to his mouth, when they realized he was nodding off against their shoulder. Into the bowl goes the spoon, their hand reaching up to play with his hair instead. Later then, they decided, ‘cus for now he needs all the rest he can get.
