Unless he's a polar bear or a penguin, I can't imagine bathing in ice could be helpful! Placing ice on an injury for 15 minutes on/15 minutes off will help with pain and swelling; however, bathing in a bath of it!.!.!.!.and for an hour no less, is definitely NOT a good idea!. Nerves hate cold and pressure!.!.!.!.so those two things on an injury site (for a limited time period) will help with pain!. Hypothermia is not a remedy for sports pain!Www@Answer-Health@Com
you are correct, it could cause hypothermia!.
ice can be used for sports injuries, but it is only to be applied to the actual location where the injury is, NOT over the whole body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
