My grandmother used to say the body gets warm because of 'garmi' and told me to drink tender coconut water. While that helped keep me hydrated, my doctor reassured me it's just increased blood circulation. Trust your doctor and keep yourself cool with loose cotton clothes.

Beta, don't take such heavy medicines without asking your doctor first. For small throat irritation or cold, you can do warm water gargles and drink ginger water. But for tablets, always ask your doctor.
