Fever Treatment

Fever is an elevation of the body's temperature in response to infection

. A part of the brain called the hypothalamus serves as the body's thermostat. It helps us maintain a normal temperature of about 98.6 F. Sometimes, the hypothalamus resets the body's temperature in response to an infection. An elevated temperature stimulates the immune system to fight off the infection. Fever is not the only sign of a serious illness. There are different symptoms of a fever. The symptoms of a fever depends on what is causing it. Sometimes a fever can cause a chill. A chill occurs because when the brain raises the body's "thermostat," the body responds by shivering to raise the temperature. Fevers may be useful to some extent since they allow the body to reach high temperatures. This causes an unbearable environment for some pathogens. White blood cells also rapidly proliferate due to the suitable environment and can also help fight off the harmful pathogens and microbes that invaded the body. Children develop higher temperatures with activities like playing, but this is not fever because their set-point is normal. Elderly patients may have a decreased ability to generate body heat during a fever, so even a low-grade fever can have serious underlying causes in geriatrics.

You never want to interfere with or work against a fever. It is much wiser to work with a fever and not against it. To work against a fever is to unwisely work against Nature and the Body Intelligence. Working against Nature and the Body Intelligence is gradual suicide because to work against Nature and the Body Intelligence is to work against self which is clearly unwise.
