Okay to take hot shower?

2015-12-01 06:00:06
Hi. I had fever for past few days. I'm feeling better today, fever has reduced to ninety eight point five. I just have runny nose now. My query is - can I take a hot shower now? Does it increase the chances of getting fever back? Thanks in advance.

you might have had viral fever which commonly presents with runny nose and some body ache. taking bath usually won't cause much problems as these infections are self resolving and don't reccur regularly
