Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever. Drinking water maintains hydration during the stress of fever on the body. Tepid sponging helps by vasodilating blood vessels and evaportaion technique.

I've been taking B complex tablets because my B12 level was low, and I've noticed my urine turning bright yellow afterward. I'm a bit worried and unsure if this is happening because of the supplement or if I should be concerned about something else. Is yellow urine normal after taking B complex, or should I be worried?
yes
