Why do you have a fever?
According to experts, fever, also known as pyrexia, usually occurs when the body’s immune system begins to fight an infection caused by a pathogen such as a bacteria or virus. It helps neutralize the pathogen by raising body temperature to where it cannot survive.
However, if it continues to be high, there may be many other reasons, such as drug reactions, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders, excessive heat exposure, and other non-infectious conditions. These conditions cause fever by altering the part of the brain that functions as the body’s thermostat.
Doctors say to use an oral thermometer: 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (F) is considered a normal body temperature, and any temperature above that temperature should be taken into account.
What are the symptoms of high fever?
Doctors say fever symptoms get worse as the temperature rises, and some include:
- Feel chills
- severe headache
- sore eyes
- Constantly feeling thirsty
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Muscle and body pain.
- Increased heart rate
- pale skin
- upset stomach
What are the dangers of high fever?
According to experts, although persistent high fever can cause brain damage and death, it is rare and is more often associated with the underlying cause of the fever, such as malignancy or cancer.
However, it is also important to know when the fever does not go down; It can be dangerous for the central nervous system. Temperatures above 102 degrees Celsius can cause febrile convulsions, also known as febrile convulsions or febrile seizures in children. In the long run, a high fever can cause permanent brain damage.
Ways to reduce fever
Doctors say treatment is unnecessary if you have a fever but feel fine, as it may go down on its own after the infection is neutralized. Also, when it comes to children, if they have energy, there is no immediate danger. However, when fever-related symptoms begin to make you feel extremely fatigued and your temperature continues to rise, an over-the-counter fever reducer such as acetaminophen may provide short-term relief.
You can start applying cold compresses, with the help of ice and cold water, all over your body to lower the temperature.
Resting and drinking plenty of fluids can also help the body fight the underlying infection. Doctors also recommend a warm bath.
