Febrile patients often have the sensation of being cold. Covering them with blankets is usually ok. A warm water bottle would probably be ok too, but one may not want to place it near the head/brain.
A patient up to 103°F should be relatively safe from secondary fever induced problems. Keeping the patient comfortable at lower fevers is best.
If the fever spikes above 105°F or so, it would be inadvisable to add additional heat, and one should consider methods to reduce the fever independent of other treatments.
Always consult a physician if you have specific treatment questions.

How is blood transfusion made?
A blood transfusion - is giving a patient a quantity of blood to replace any that's been lost though an accident or injury. A small sample of the patient's blood is analysed to determine the blood group & type. This is 'cross-matched' with blood of the same type stored at the hospital. A unit (or 'bag') of blood is hung above the patient from a metal stand, and a needle leading from the bag is inserted into a vein in the patient. A combination of gravity, and the patient's heartbeat drains the blood from the bag into the body. The bag is replaced when empty or the donation is stopped once the patient's blood pressure returns to normal.
