If your fever has subsided then you may be safe to be in public, but continue to take precautions not to infect others by limiting touch to surfaces, wearing a face mask or covering your mouth, etc.

If your body temperature is low, then the hot beverages will help to raise it back to normal. However, if your body temperature is at or above normal, your body's cooling system will tend to work to get rid of the added heat in order to maintain normal.
