I have never heard of or seen a person actively try to lower their body temperature the way you describe. Most people just try to make it more bearable by using wet cloth on the forehead most commonly which doesn’t change your temperature significantly at all. Aside from that you are generally fed or eat hot food like soup and tea so I don’t really see where you are coming from.
