Tfw cold

>Russian mother goes: "Ooh, poor little comrade - get under the three blankets and eat the soup. Just sweat it all out"
>American mother: "Oh, Johnny, our little boy got cold. What should we do?" -"Fix him a cold bath, of course" [JFK smile]

So, the eternal question is, what is more retarded: overheating the body to the point little Jimmy/Vasya get the brain damage or taking the chances with the immune system being overrun by the virus?

And let's just get out of the way the smarmy connotation, such as
>inb4 get a doctor / into the hospital

American mothers give chicken noodle soup and a ginger ale

I have never heard of anyone taking a cold bath for a cold here

Cold bath for a cold? Is this what Russia thinks Americans do?

then WHY. THE. FUCK crapload of Hollywood movies show that shit all the time
>Cold?
>Oh god you are hot (the body temperature)
>Have a bath/ice cream

?

Yes! What the fuck is wrong with your, culture representing, Hollywood? Out of my head I can think of the two movies that did that shit with a straight face

Splice
Jacob's Ladder

But i recall having seeing those scenes a whole lot more

Sorry, guys, I think I fucked up/lost in translation.

Does "being cold" goes along with having a high-temperature fever in your country? Cuz that's what I've meant in the initial post - having fever with high temp.

To show that they have a fever for the audience

The closest thing I have experienced to what you are describing is my mother putting a wet washcloth on the back of my neck when I had a fever

Yes, being cold does mean being feverish. I saw Splice and I don't remember a cold(temp) bath scene at all. The ice cream thing is true though when you're a kid, and I don't know, I think it's just to make the kid feel better, as in happier, not healthier.

okay, fair enough, but i call bullshit on your jewish movie directors on that one.

I can go for washcloth, but still sounds a bit redundant, when you have your own sweat glands to both cool down and take any excessive shit out of the system

that was the scene where they figured out Dren could breathe underwater
