For an unconscious client who has undergone head surgery, the best site to monitor body temperature would be the rectal area. This method provides an accurate core temperature reading, which is crucial for assessing the client's thermal status, especially post-surgery. Alternative methods, such as oral or axillary, may not be reliable in unconscious patients due to the risk of airway compromise or inaccurate readings.
What to take for lower body temperature?
Generally for a low fever, regular Tylenol will bring your fever down. But take the smallest number, just one not two because Tylenol can damage your liver if taken in excess. Children should not be given Aspirin (ASA) to reduce fever.

Why is being cold bad for you?
It really isn't unless you get to the point of hypothermia, frost bite, or other tissue damage from exposure. There is a longstanding and widespread belief that getting cold, like going outside without a coat or being in the rain, etc., can make you catch the common cold, pneumonia, or other infectious disease.
However, many scientifically controlled university studies have been conducted to determine if feeling cold or being wet and cold increases your risk of becoming infected with a cold or flu virus, or with viral or bacterial pneumonia. Although you have probably heard that said over and over, the results of the studies have been reproduced, analyzed, and tested. There is no scientific proof that getting cold can cause you to have an infection, unless hypothermia and its consequences and related conditions exist.
It is thought by some that this belief in a connection between the colds and flu and cold weather began long ago before there was any knowledge of the existence of pathogens/germs. Because the cold and flu viruses tend to be commonly around during the "flu season" in the colder months (likely an environmental preference), and not as frequently at the other times of year, people made the assumption that it was the cold weather that made them sick. Now it is known that these are infectious diseases caused by germs and that exposure to cold does not make you ill, just uncomfortable (except as mentioned above).
Having the results of studies like these has not stopped the belief from continuing, however. The sayings, "Button up your coat so you don't get sick," "Don't go to bed (or outside) with wet hair or you will catch a cold," "I was out all day working in the cold weather, so I got the flu," "The weather has been changeable from hot to cold and cold to hot and so I am sick," "Shut that drafty window or you will catch your death of cold," etc. are all from long before we had the current scientific information and will no doubt continue to be said and believed. Besides, it is a nice tradition to let us show our concern for each other and their health.
To prevent colds and influenza, use proper hand washing, avoid those with symptoms (especially if they are coughing and sneezing and stay 6 feet away, if at all possible), and get flu vaccinations.

What control the body temperature?
The blood that flow through the skin and subcutaneous area controls our body temperature.
Body temperature is governed by the hypothalamus, a very small organ near the base of the brain. Perspiration is the secondary cooling control, that works evaporatively to keep the body temperature from getting too high.
Can fever cause feet and hands to feel cold?
yes, it can. it is called chills. Chills (shivering) may occur at the beginning of an infection and are usually associated with a fever. Chills are caused by rapid muscle contraction and relaxation. They are the body's way of producing heat when it feels cold. Chills often predict the coming of a fever or an increase in the body's core temperature. Chills are an important symptom with certain diseases such as malaria.
