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.

My appetite seems fine, so I'm wondering if it might be a vitamin or mineral deficiency or something.
