No. If your body is trying to mount a fever to help eliminate the pathogens responsible for the cold, taking a bath will make it easier to reach a higher temperature, for a little while... but then your body will just have to make up for the difference when you get out of the bath anyway.

Baths are very relaxing, though, and anything that soothes your body and mind will help you deal with the stress of having a cold.

How do you get rid of brown water in the bath?

The most usual cause for brown water in the bath is a growth of algae in your hot water tank; it could also be rust in the hot water tank. The simplest solution, although very expensive, is a new hot water tank. Personally, I would be willing to bathe in brownish water.
