my grandson has fever on and off for 4 days and was only given a paracetamol syrup every 4 hours. It so happened i meet a friend and told to give him more fluids by which i am doing at present,but he told me to boil a certain plant which we consider as grass in our place , we call this plant a TAWA TAWA. i dont know what is the exact english term on this plant. as i kept on asking my friends they told me that it is good bcoz somebody has proven it already, by drinking ths tawa2 patient can recover without hospitalization. Please help me to understand about this plants.. thank you
