Reply:Your body raises its own temperature to make it inhospitable to the flu virus that it's trying to get rid of. Getting a fever and sweating are good things as long as the fever doesn't get too high (104F or 40C is too high). It just means that your body is doing its job and fighting off the virus. When you take fever-reducing medicines, it actually slows down the healing process. You shouldn't take them unless you absolutely have to.





Drink lots of water/juice (to flush out the germs) and get lots of sleep. Hope you feel better soon.
Reply:First off, it's spelled flu. And secondly, your body sweats to cool down if you have a fever, also to flush out any toxins.
Reply:heat kills bacteria. you body id murdering the bacteria. your skin must release the heat and find a way to cool off. this doesnt belong in womens health+you learn this in 3rd grade.
