hmmm maybe depends on you if you can tolerate it. because when we are sick we dont like to go out even in our bedroom. we dont like the air, most especially water, but if i want to take a shower then ill do it.but i can feel that i dont like the water then ill just stay in my bed and rest/

I was not allowed to take a bath whenever i had high fever by my mother. Anyway i used to become very weak and could not get up from bed so the question of bathing never came about.By the grace of God i have not fallen sick for over 18 years and keeping goodhealth so i do bathe everyday and now my mom also has passed away but i don`t think i would take a bath when i am down with fever.

We always take baths when we re sick and running a fever. It seems to help us feel better and also to break the fever faster. I don't think that it is dangerous at all unless you are taking an extremely hot or cold bath. If the water is warm, it should be fine.

Well maybe for some but I know my body and if I have a fever I already have the chills and I am very weak. A bath is the last that would me. I feel if I took a bath I would just get a higher fever and be just worse in the long run. Good for you that it makes you feel better but I know its not for me. Take care!

it depends on d kind of fever ..dere are some fevers dat happens due to hottness..
den bathing is d best option..
but if u r having cold as well as fever den avoid bathing..also depends on the immune system of man..whether he could take it pr not in fever..
