Your body will only be able to function and maintain it's homeostasis at a constant stable temperature of 98 degree's farenheit. It will usually only be able to take a min of 96 or a max of 102. Usually at hitting those max/min, the body will have begun to loose it's ability to mantain that temperature and it could then start beginning a downward spiral of Hypo- and hyper- Thermia, which is very dangerous.
<u>RICE for treating physical injuries:
</u>
“RICE – Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation”
After an injury (knee or ankle sprain) the pain and swelling can be relieved and wound can be made flexible and healed.
<u>Rest:</u> Need to take rest and protect the injured area.
<u>Ice: </u>By applying cold ice pack will reduce pain and swelling.
<u>Compression:</u> Need to wrap the injured area with an elastic bandage will compress the wound and reduce swelling.
<u>Elevation:</u> Need to place the injured area at a height (above the heart level) which helps in minimizing the swelling.
