When you have a fever, the body is fighting hard, so please give yourself complete rest. I deal with hormonal issues, so I know how fragile the body's balance can be. Drink plenty of water and warm fluids, but do consult a doctor if the fever persists.
Honestly, being sick can make you feel so lonely and emotionally drained, and it is completely okay to feel low. Just focus on resting your body and staying hydrated with warm soups. Don't push yourself to work; take a sick leave and seek a doctor's advice.
I totally get it, running a fever makes even the simplest tasks feel like a mountain to climb. Try to do some light sponging with normal water to ease the body heat. Please take proper rest and reach out to a medical professional if you don't feel better.
While suffering from a fever, the body needs quietness and slow, gentle breathing to conserve energy. Avoid any heavy yoga postures, just lie down comfortably and rest. Let the natural healing happen, but do consult your doctor for proper medical treatment.
I was researching this recently because everyone seems to be falling sick lately. The consensus seems to be resting in a cool room, wearing light clothes, and drinking lots of fluids to avoid dehydration. Of course, getting a doctor's opinion is the most important step.
