Well.. i guess it would be ok, but it would bring your body temp up even more. If you body temp gets to high it can cause brain damage and vital organ damage (but we are talking about 106). Its better to take a slightly cooler shower when you have a fever, to help your body cool its self.Health Question & Answer

The only side effect of a hot shower during a fever is you will smell better while you suffer.

The time you spend in a shower isn't going to hurt you. However, if you are feeling faint, or dizzy, best to have someone check in on you until you are safely back in bed.Health Question & Answer
