Answer #1

What about a cold wash cloth on your forehead or behind your neck? That always helps me. Don’t wear socks, either. I notice if my feet are cold, my whole body will be.. Get better honey bunch! :)

Answer #2

Yes,the best way is to use cloth dipped in cold water,use it on your forehead and relax. Other than that,i can advice you one more thing,which has always helped me.You must be feeling cold or may be shivering,try not to cover yourself with many layers of blankets as it will make the temperature more high in the blanket and your body will be more hot,and your fever can get worse,so its better not to use so many blankets.Try it,it will be difficult,but it will make you better. If you don’t want bath,then you can use sponge dipped in normal to cold water and use it on your hands,stomach and legs. As you have taken medicine,it will start affecting soon,hope you will get better.Get well soon :)
