Fever and Sweat.

Can anyone tell me if this is healthy to make urself sweat if u have fever? My dad’s been feverish for past 2 days (due to sealsonal cold, etc) and he told me to give him 2-3 extra layers of blanket/comforter so he’ll get sweaty and fever will come off. I found that a little bit amusing as well as dangerous too because that could dehydrate him.

I realy don’t know if there’s any medical logic behind it or just my dad’s ‘totka’.

ny1 knows?

There definitely is medical logic to it. It is effective but some doctors do not recommend force sweating yourself especially when you have a fever.

My dad has been doing it too for as long as i can remember.
