Is drinking cold water good for fever?
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.

How many cod liver oil capsules should I take daily in mg? Is there any risk of overdosing on them? Each capsule I have is 300mg, and I'm 19 years old. How many should I be taking every day?
take only 1 capsule per day never more than 2, high doses can sometimes lead to an increased risk of bleeding, especially if you are taking blood-thinning medications.

So, I was playing with my dog and he accidentally scratched my arm with his nail. It's just a bit red, nothing major. Should I think about getting a tetanus shot for this, or am I overreacting?
If the scratch is minor and the redness is slight, a tetanus shot may not be immediately necessary. However, if the scratch is deep or if your tetanus vaccination is not up to date (usually within 5-10 years), its a good idea to consult a doctor to be safe.
