I have a question about fevers and adults?!


Question:

I have a question about fevers and adults?

I am 38 and have been battling a bad chest cold for 4 days. Each night I am spiking a fever of up to 101.8. I'm now pretty sure I don't have a cold but an upper respiratory infection. My question is this: Is it ok to take a hot bath when you have this degree of fever? I have the chills really bad and I want a hot bath like right now. Really hot. Can I do that or not?


Answers:

no hot bath take a lukewarm bath, drink plenty of fluids tylenol or ibuprofen and if this fever doesnt go away after 3 days id visit the doctor or go to the ER. My husband gets bad fevers and chills. use a couple of blankets
