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.

I'm thinking about getting a full body check-up since I haven't done one in a while. I'd like to understand if there's any imbalance in my body or if there's anything I should be aware of to take care of myself proactively. Can you help guide me on this?
I recommend you to get a comprehensive master health check-up to assess your overall health status. This will help identify any potential imbalances or health issues that may need to be addressed proactively. During the check-up, various tests will be conducted to evaluate your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, kidney function, liver function, and overall organ health. Based on the results, appropriate interventions can be recommended to maintain or improve your health. Additionally, make sure to discuss any specific concerns or symptoms you may have with your healthcare provider during the check-up. Regular health check-ups are essential for early detection and prevention of any potential health problems.
