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 wondering if it's safe to take multivitamin tablets every day without checking with a doctor first. Also, is it necessary to do any blood tests before starting on multivitamins? Just a bit concerned about whether it's really okay to self-prescribe these or if there's something I should watch out for.

I'm a bit concerned because my vaccinated dog bit me, and I started bleeding. I got my anti-rabies shot about 15 hours later, but the doctor gave me the injection on my butt. Some people are saying it should've been given on the shoulders instead. Does this mean my vaccination might not work, or should I be worried about it?
No need to worry, giving injection to the muscle is important let it be shoulder or butt.
