If the fever is serious, we will choose antipyretic drugs.
most antipyretic drugs play an antipyretic role by acting on the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center. After taking drugs, they will accelerate perspiration and cause water loss in the body. It is easy to dehydrate. Drinking more water can effectively prevent it. Moreover, drinking more water can increase the amount of perspiration and the number of urination, and cooperate with antipyretic drugs to reduce fever.
in addition, antipyretic drugs are mainly metabolized through the liver, and 60% ~ 90% are excreted with urine through the kidney. Drinking plenty of water can help the drugs excrete faster, reduce the burden on liver and kidney and reduce drug toxicity.

Drinking water can increase the moisture of feces, soften stool and help defecate smoothly. Because constipation is a kind of intestinal dysfunction. Patients with this kind of constipation can drink a few mouthfuls and swallow quickly. In this way, water can reach the colon more quickly, help intestinal peristalsis and promote defecation.

according to a domestic survey, seven adults drink water only when they are thirsty. As everyone knows, when you feel thirsty, your body has lost at least 1% of its water.
drinking water is not to quench thirst, but to participate in metabolism and be absorbed by the human body.
