A member asked:

Is it bad to take a shower when you are sick? i have soar throat, headache, and a full nose. my mom says it is bad but i think a hot shower might help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Taking a shower when you're sick is not a problem. I agree with you. A hot shower when you're not feeling great perks me up. Getting wet does not make you sicker. That's an old myth.
