, these methods only provide a temporary impact and do not address the real cause of fever which is usually caused by infection or inflammation.
Likewise, added from
Health
, when you have a fever, your body will actually be better off in cool conditions, not too cold or hot.
However, it’s actually not a problem to wear socks when you have a fever to provide comfort during a fever.
However, avoid wearing socks and blankets that are too thick to make your body overheated.This is because socks or thick blankets will block the evaporation process, which can make the fever even higher.
It is very important to keep the sufferer comfortable during a fever to prevent the sufferer from getting worse.
Wear clothes that are light and absorb sweat to make it easier to dissipate body heat.
Maintaining fluid intake during fever is also necessary to prevent dehydration.For example, by drinking water, fruit juice, or soup.
Even though fever can heal on its own, there are several symptoms of fever that you should be aware of, such as the following:
Fever that occurs in babies less than 3 months old.
Fever lasts for more than three days.
Body temperature reaches more than 40 degrees Celsius.
Weakness and no appetite.
Visual disturbances, pain, or difficulty urinating or defecating.
If you find any of the signs mentioned above, immediately go to the nearest health facility to get further treatment.
Thus, it can be concluded that it is okay to wear socks when you have a fever, but don’t make them too thick and take them off immediately when your feet feel warm.
