Dad had a fever these two days. He said he wanted to drink tea when he was thirsty. Can he still drink tea if he has a fever?

    The caffeine in tea can not only increase the body temperature, but also reduce the efficacy. Tannin in tea also has astringent effect, which will affect the body's perspiration and prevent normal heat dissipation. If the body heat is not distributed properly, it is difficult to lower the body temperature in time, which affects the recovery of the patient. When you have a cold or fever, you should drink more warm water.
