What not to drink when fever?
Between elevated temperatures and increased sweating, dehydration is something to avoid when you have a fever. Caffeine and alcohol can make your symptoms worse (especially stomach-related symptoms), so I’d recommend sipping on water and other clear liquids throughout the day to stay hydrated. Dehydration is dangerous on its own, but it can also increase your body temperature and worsen your fever. Drink plenty of water to maintain healthy fluid levels. Cold water can also help reduce your body temperature. Do: see a doctor as soon as possible if your fever becomes worse or does not resolve after a few days.Self-treatment suggestions for fever Take paracetamol or ibuprofen in appropriate doses to help bring your temperature down.
