Does spraying water on the skin helps lower body temperature?
Yes, as the water changes state from liquid to gas it has a high latent heat- meaning that heat is transferred from the skin to the atmosphere as the water evaporates, much in the same way sweating works. However this technique will only mildly lower the surface temperature of the body, if the body is suffering from heat exhaustion more extreme methods of lowering body temperature should be used such as using a cool shower. Note that cold water should not be used to lower the body temperature as it may cause vasconstriction of the capillaries near the skin which can have counter productive consequences.
What causes low body temperature after fever?
I had a fever for a about 5 days and started on antibiotics. Now my temperature can go down to 35,5-36,0 C (normal is usually 36,6 C). After asking a doctor, it seems to be normal because the body tries to adjust after a long fever and the temperature of the body can sway a bit. I was told it's normal and it's nothing to be alarmed about. Just drink warm liquids if you feel cold because of this. It will raise the temperature up again. This swaying of body heat can last up to about two weeks. But if you still feel frightened you can always call a doctor to calm you down. Hope this helps.
For everyone whose feeling ill, get well soon!

A 97.0 degree body temperature can be normal, depending on what your average body temperature is normally. 98.6 degrees is an average normal body temperature, but some people run lower or higher than that on a regular basis. You really don't have to worry unless your body temperature falls below 95 degrees.
A temperature of 38.6C is just over 101F, and would be considered low grade fever. The normal body temperature of 98.6F is equal to 37.0C.
Equivalent temperatures in the human body in Fahrenheit and Celsius measurement:
99F = 37.22C
100F = 37.78C
101F = 38.33C
102F = 38.89C
103F = 39.44C
104F = 40.00C
105F = 40.56C

Is a low temperature dangerous?
Low body temperature (hypothermia) is potentially fatal. A healthy person's body temperature should be between 97°F (36.1°C) and 100°F (37.8°C). When the body's temperature falls below 95°F (35°C) it is in a state of hypothermia--the person should be wrapped in warm blankets (obviously not covering the nose and mouth), and medical assistance sought immediately.

What does protein do for the body?
Protein helps the body for muscle health and muscle strength. Protein is esential for the body because it provides energy with less calories than sugars or fats.
At its most basic level, proteins are the "building blocks" of our body. To put it more scientifically, their role is to form new cells and tissues for growth and repair. Enzymes, a crucial component of our body chemistry, are globular proteins, and hormones are often made using proteins. In short, without protein, life would cease to exist.

How does the body react when the outside temperature gets to hot?
the body responds by first the nervous system sensing the cold/hot. the sensory neurons of the nervous system will then send a signal to the hypothalamus (brain). the hypothalamus will then respond by redirecting the blood flow to the inner organs to keep them warm if it is cold. if it is hot the blood flow will go to the surface of the body.
