A fever, defined as an increase in body temperature over 37.3, is a common sign of illness. But recently, it has caught uncommon attention: It can be a sign of catching COVID-19. Whatever the cause, here are some things you should remember if you develop a fever.

Don’t drink certain drinks. Alcohol, soda and coffee should be avoided when you have a fever. They can cause your body to lose water when it really needs a lot of water.

Do not dress too warmly or put yourself in a place that is too hot. This can influence the body’s ability to regulate(调节) its temperature and make your fever worse.

Don’t take medicine without the doctor’s advice. Although fever-reducing medicines are very useful for treating fever, taking more than the recommended amount can lead to serious harm to your health and even death. For children, the amount should be smaller.

Don’t stay hungry. The old saying “Those with a cold should eat, while those with a fever should eat nothing” is wrong and dangerous. Fever speeds up your metabolism(新陈代谢). Hunger also reduces the body’s ability to fight off disease. So you need to get more energy from food.

Don’t forget to drink water. A fever will increase the number of breaths, causing water loss. The body also sweats more as it regulates its temperature. In addition, people usually drink less water when they have a fever, which will finally cause the body to lose water faster.

It’s not a good habit to eat when you are watching TV. You may put too much into your mouth. It will make you fat and is not good for your health. If you have the habit and would like to give it up, here are some tips to help you.

Eat at the kitchen table

It’s fine to have a snack while watching TV, but take a break and move over to the table to have your snack, and then come back to the TV.

Set limits(限制)

It can be helpful to think ahead and set limits. Try to eat just one cup of popcorn (not the whole bag) and only watch one or two episodes(剧集) of your show.

Choose wisely

If you want to eat snacks in the evening hours, choose something that’s not sugary or caffeinated (含咖啡因的).

Give your hands something to do

Find an activity that will keep your hands busy while you’re watching TV, like cleaning the house or doing exercise.

Invite a friend

Sometimes watching TV with other people can be helpful because we don’t eat that much when we’re with someone else.
