I warmly Welcome you!

There is no special diet change when someone have fever. Just try taking small meals and avoid heavy and fatty meals as they aren't easily digested.

Take plenty of fluids and high fiber diet. Shower is very good for you in fever. It will help you feel better plus it has an added benefit of maintaining temperature of body towards normal.

Yes you may take water but not so much that may cause problems like pharyngitis and other issues. It is always good to take plenty of water but not too much cold. Taking too much cold water may drop body temperature suddenly and may lead to shivering.


Hope it helps. If you need further assistance anytime, feel free to contact me.


Regards!
