NOOOOOOO don't drink anything cold!!!
What a fever is, is your body heating up to kill the cold. You want to HELP your body to heat up. Think of it as though the heat goes INWARD and away from your skin so that is why you feel cold.
Go put a sweater on and get under the covers. Give it an hour and you will have broken the fever.
Never make your body cold when you have a fever.... not with ice cold stuff, anyway.
Some people go to luke warm baths but you risk prolonging the fever with chills that way.
You'll feel better if you sweat out the fever, trust me.
Try it!
Yes because it brings your fever down.
No, ice water is not a cure-all. Sometimes people feel better when they drink something warm or cold, but a fever itself makes you feel cold. hot, or a micture. The best thing to do is take Motrin or Tylenol to bring down the fever. Good luck.
the best thing to do during fever is to drink lots of liquids, and stay warm so you cant sweat out the fever,
i think so
Take parecetamol, so long as it doesn't interact with other medication or does not adversily effect you.
Take 1 or 2 tablets only.
If you have a temperature above 39*C (102.2*F), get medical advice immediatly.
If your temperature goes above 41*C (105.8*F), you are in a medical emergency as abuse this temperature is usually lethal.
42*C (107.6*F) is usually deadly.
DO NOT try to heat your self up, as you will obviosly get hotter faster.
You should know this in first aid information.
(Your bodies thermostat is alrealy set too high)
It is good to drink water all the time. It doest have to be cold or warm when you are sick. As long as you are taking it in. I like to drink tea when i am sick. IT is all water and it is hot and makes me feel better. As long as you can keep it down. If you are hungry I would try soup like a chicken noodle because you use water to make that it is warm. So its really up to you and how you take it.
Yeah, I heard that somewhere too. The only thing I've tried is sweating it out in a steaming hot bath or shower though...
Hope you feel better bestest buddy!
