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.

View allI'm really concerned because I had a fever in the morning, and after I took some medicine, it went away. But then it came back again in the afternoon and at night. Is this normal, or should I be worried about this recurring fever? Would you suggest anything different I should try or maybe a specific kind of medicine?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fever. To help manage your symptoms, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed to reduce the fever. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

no ,it shouldn't be taken if you have any symptoms
