Drinking 2 to 3 pints of cold water can reduce a high fever 1/2 to 2 degrees in few minutes.
Cold water lowers body temperature, absorbs heat of the fever, and dilutes the blood. It helps the skin and kidneys eliminate the toxins caused by fever reaction. It increases evaporation of fluids and this also reduces fever.
Fever patients should drink from 24 to 32 cups (8 oz is one cup) a day.
