Fever
Inflammatory response to pathogens by raising the core body temperature. Pathogens cannot survive in high temps and the rate of speed of white blood cells
Fever is a temporary increase in body temperature that is usually a natural reaction to infections, illnesses, or injuries. A fever usually indicates that the body’s immune system is fighting off an infection or illness.
Symptoms of fever include a high body temperature, chills or sweats, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, and dehydration. The normal body temperature is typically around 98.6°F (37°C), but a fever is generally defined as a body temperature higher than 100.4°F (38°C).
Treatment for a fever depends on its underlying cause and severity. In most cases, a fever can be managed with over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce the fever and relieve symptoms. Patients should also stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
However, if the fever is extremely high, persists for more than a few days, or is accompanied by other severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing or extreme lethargy, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
