Is it useful to take a cold shower when you have a fever?

We often catch colds and fevers because we all think that colds and fevers are minor illnesses. However, if colds and fevers are not handled or treated in time, they can also lead to the occurrence of some diseases. So many people will take cold showers when they have a fever. Do you think this is a good idea? The following is an explanation of whether it is good to take a cold shower when you have a fever.

Fever is a protective reflex of the human body. It is a gathering signal sent by white blood cells when they engulf and remove viruses, bacteria, toxins and waste in the human body. When fever occurs, the blood flow in the human body speeds up, allowing white blood cells to quickly gather at the patient's site, which is beneficial to the removal of viruses, bacteria, toxins and waste in the body and speeds up their action, which is beneficial to the human body. At the same time, this activity can enable the human body to produce antibodies and increase its ability to resist disease in the future.

If the human body is sick and needs to have a fever for 24 or 48 hours to complete its repair task, and you find a way to stop it from having a fever, it actually has not completed the task, so after resting for a period of time it will have a fever again to continue its unfinished work. If you repeatedly stop it, it will have a fever again. In fact, it is equivalent to dividing up the working time it takes to complete the task and stretching it out until it completes the task. So it's best not to stop it from heating up. This is the body's own protection reaction and also a detoxification reaction. There is nothing to be afraid of. Fever is a manifestation of the body's enhanced resistance (it is not caused by a weak heat dissipation system). Can the human body harm itself? Every function of our human body is produced to protect itself, so it will not cause too much harm to the human body! Only when it completes its task will the body temperature automatically return to normal.

Only in a few patients with febrile seizures can sedation and antipyretic treatment be considered.

From a purely physical point of view, you can cool down by taking a cold shower, but humans are living organisms. After you take a cold shower, your body surface will change, the sweat pores all over your body will close, and you may even shiver. This will be counterproductive. Not only will the fever not be reduced, but the fever will become even higher after a while. Because the body's surface heat dissipation system is shut down, internal heat cannot be dissipated, so the heat will be greater. In fact, you should take a bath with warm water at about 40℃. Water that is higher than body temperature can promote the opening and closing of our body's heat dissipation system, which is beneficial for heat dissipation.

The above is about taking a cold shower when you have a fever. These problems need to be solved and controlled. So when we have a fever, we must not take a cold shower. Because it is easy to learn, we cannot adapt to cold water and therefore cannot achieve the effect of heat dissipation. Instead, it will be counterproductive. So we must take a warm shower, which is conducive to heat dissipation and achieve the effect of reducing fever.
