The thing with the onions is a well-established folk remedy. I even had it done to me when I was a little kid. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't help (and appears to work because fevers generally go away on their own) but the OP isn't simply making it up. Many people must have thought that it worked well enough that it was worth passing down over generations.
Ok. I didn't realize this bullshit was grandfathered in.
