Why does increases fluid intake help when you have a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydration: Is very important during any acute event your body is experiencing, this would include an acute infection. Also if you have a fever, you need to make sure that you stay well-hydrated as perspiration causes fluid loss.
