idk, maybe it's cuz your body heat rises to kill infections, so maintaining a warm/high body heat would usually be beneficial, unless of course, you have a weak body, or the fever lasts too long. Also he's an adult so I think that makes it more reasonable? tho idk, i'm not a doctor ^^
Nothing wrong with a fever that isnt high. But all those blankets? No, please never do that. You can cause brain damage if the fever goes too high. Its not a good idea to try to play doctor and letting the fever rise to kill the infections. I am an adult and dont take anything for fevers. I let me body do its own thing. But i also dress lightly and dont use blankets. I keep an eye on the fever.
I am rereading this and i finally noticed that Esau was trying to lower Hosoos fever by packing blankets, and clothes on him. He said he tried to use his body heat to make him warm.
I was cringing. I have had to take care of my nieces and nephews during fevers. You dont want them covered up. You dont want to raise their fever. Light clothing, and perhaps a thin cover just for comfort. You can use cool cloth on the forehead and wipe it on the body to cool down the body.
