If you have a fever should go into hot tub?

No, you shouldn't go into a hot tub if you have a fever. When you have a fever, your body is working hard to fight off an infection. Raising your body temperature even more by getting into a hot tub can make you feel worse and slow your body's ability to heal.

In addition, going into a hot tub when you have a fever can increase your risk of dehydration and heat stroke. Dehydration can occur when you sweat excessively and don't drink enough fluids. Heat stroke occurs when your body temperature rises to dangerous levels. Both dehydration and heat stroke can be serious medical conditions.

If you have a fever, it's best to stay home and rest. You should also drink plenty of fluids and take over-the-counter medications to reduce your fever. If your fever lasts more than three days or is higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, you should see a doctor.
