do you still take a bath even if you are sick?

when i'm just having a cough or colds i will still take a bath. but when i have fever of course i will not go to office anymore & i will not take a bath too. coz i know by sacrificing a day, it will ease my sickness so why sacrificing a day or two right? besides i will not go to office, i just stay at home lol

I always seem to feel better when I take a bath when I'm sick. I don't think it will hurt you. Sounds like you may have the flu. Are you on medication or something to bring your fever down?

Have you tried waching off with a cloth with soap and water and then rewetting it to wash the soap off? I have done that when I was sick. Also when I had problems and couldn't move well I had no choice but to get cleaned up like this.

When I feel sick I still take a bath and it makes me feel a little better and more comfortable. Personally I think it's okay but if it didn't turn out that well for you then you might want to try taking a bath with warm water instead (if you took a bath with cold and vice versa), maybe that will do the trick. I hope you get well soon. It really s*cks being sick. Take care!

Oh no, that's bad for u, especially when all the 3 coems together :( BUt y did u still go the the office when u are sick?? I guess it'sthe journey to the office makes u feeling worse than b4 and not the morning bath.. I do take a bath too when i'm having fever, because taking cold shower will help to bring down the body temperature, though i will feeel very cold later on, and so what i will do is to drink a cup of very hot water to keep me warm and wear my jackets ^_^ MAy u recover soon ^_^

I always take a shower, a long hot one when am sick. It makes me feel better after. Maybe you should try showers instead of bath. Take a quick hot one and dry yourself very quickly. Cover yourself up and have a hot drink. Taking a shower and cleaning yourself will make you feel better in your mind too.

I am so sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope you get to feeling better. I still take a bath when I am sick. It helps me to feel a little bit better. I like to lay in bath water to help me relax and sometimes it helps me to sweat out some of the fever.

Right now I have a very bad cold or flu too. I feel the same symptoms you have and I have been taking a shower every day. You need to keep clean to remove any germs you have on your body and any excess sweat, dirt, or mucuous that is on your body. It always makes me feel a little bit more healthy after my shower. If you don't like the temperature then adjust it so it makes you feel better. And then bundle up and back to bed. You said you went to work while sick like this, I don't know why you would if you are sick. All of my kids are sick too and I kept them out of school this week to get better. I don't want them to infect the other children and keep the illness going. When you are sick you need to stay home and rest in bed, not go out and spread it to others. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

I would be more sick if i don't so yes i do.I believe that if you feel fresh and clean you will easily get cured.I do think personal hygiene is really important for our health.

Hi friend,Even I feel bad without taking bath even when I am sick.Whenever I get fever I take medicine and immediately the fever goes down for sometime and I take a quick bath,then you feel comfortable and fresh.I feel not taking bath when we are sick ,only prolongs our sickness.Thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.

I think, from the point of Chinese doctor, it does good to health if we insist on having a bath every day even if we are sick or feel very exhausted. Sometimes I try to have a sauna when I am sick especially have a cold, after that I feel better, coz the steam bath can let our body eliminate virus. Why not try hotter water for a bath?

No, don't take a bath when you are sick. It will worsen your condition. I have been in your situation before, when i was in college. I always had to be up every night to work on my projects and these makes me feel ill. And since i dont want to stinks in goin to school, bath is a regular way of making me feel fresh. But right after,even though i know i was not feeling well, that day i catch a bad cold, and i felt real ill and my fever was worsen. So i end up havin to rest in the clinic for a few hours before i could go home. First thing to do is take a med, if you these symptoms like cols and coughs, to make sure its not gonna worsen. But if you have fever already, then rest early and take med, so you will get a fresh feeling the next day. You know your body more than too well.

I always take a shower every day, sick or not. The shower will make you feel better and wash off any germs you have on you. And you shouldn't go to work when you are sick like that. You will get everyone else sick that way. If I were your boss I would send you home if you showed up like that.

maybe,after a bath ,you sick will disappear.for me,i will feel very uncomfort if i don't take a bath once a day,bath alway can give me a clear brain and release my nerves,why not,pls try,don't hesitate

hi there! yes it is really ok to take a bath even your sick.,but of course you have to know your body first if you can ., bathing can actually gives you feeling of freshness.,and it release the heat in your body but you have to take a bath with warm water.,it will really help you to feel a bit ok after bathing., in your case i guess, you need to have more rest.,cause if you find yourself not feeling well, then full rest and eat more of healthy foods and drink lots of water and take vitamins,.i just hope you'll get well soon.,Ü have a nice day ahead! see you around! myliezl0903 manila, philippines

yeh,i still take a bath when i was having a high fever...hot water,really relax.... do you agree with me?

i dont take a bath if im sick. maybe if i already felling well, i will take a bath with warm water, because, it makes me feel hard to get well if i will take a bath during my illness time.

When I don't feel well, a bath or shower make me feel much better. If I'm congested in the chest, the steam and hot water often unblocks things - and it's just nice to feel fresh and clean and then climb into a lovely fresh bed. I don't know whether it's bad or not - but it feels better and works for me!

Of course you need to take a bath when you are sick! Especially if you have high fever. Bathing will help to bring down your temperature and make you fresher. These will help you recover better:).

Take your bath and then get to bed, not to work. If you go to work with those symptoms you are going to get your co-workers sick. Sounds like you have the flu. You might want to go see your doctor. Hope you feel better soon.
