How do you bring down a fever?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.

Can you get chicken pox twice?
Most people who have had chicken pox once will be immune to the disease for lifetime but reinfection may happen in persons with suppressed immunity. Also, the virus may remain inactive in the nerves and may reactivate anytime later in life.
