Does taking a hot shower or a cold shower treat a fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: It may make you feel better, but the fever is the body's inflammatory response to infection or other inflammation, and may actually be helpful. You treat the infection, and the fever will vanish. Hope you are better soon.
