To get an answer to this, we need to know what the fever heat was created for, what activities the body did with this heat energy, what other functions of the immune system were at that time, and what it was for.
Today, it is recommended to drink a lot of water, start sponging with water, and take paracetamol, which increases inflammation, to avoid fever caused by inflammation in the body. Drinking a lot of water during a fever does not produce the kind of symptoms, signs, or messages that our immune system likes.
When you have a fever, your body doesn't want to drink more water because the immune system knows it doesn't need more water. Likewise, with hyperthermia, you want to drink more water because the immune system knows you need more water.
Drinking a lot of water during a fever does not do the body any good. Excess water is removed from the body in several ways.
Modern science knows little about how water causes inflammation.Had they known this, they would not have advised drinking a lot of water during fever.
Whether the body requires large quantities of water and food during fever has been investigated in many directions. Not even one percent of evidence was found in favor of it.
