Adults with fever and cold feet can drink more warm water, which helps promote the elimination of toxins from the body and replenish fluids to assist in heat dissipation. It is also important to keep warm and avoid getting chilled, as this may worsen symptoms. If body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, fever-reducing medications such as diclofenac sodium or acetaminophen may be used under medical guidance.
