How does a drink like Sprite help a fever?

Parasyte: I'm very sick right now, and my mom says clear liquids with sugar always help. And it does!

Just keeps you hydrated i think. I'm not sure how necessary the sugar is for a fever... mothers know best... right?

If you believe it will help, it will.
Most of the time..

Placebos are great!

There might be some other explanation, but I've heard sprite and ginger ale being the home remedies of so many things its not even funny...

I've never heard that before... I've just heard that a Sprite or 7Up is good for an upset stomach. =]
