Fever is a common symptom that can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions. It is typically defined as a body temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher.
Fever is a natural response by the body's immune system to fight off infections such as viruses or bacteria. It can also be caused by other conditions such as inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or cancer.
Symptoms of fever may include chills, sweating, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. In most cases, fever is a temporary condition that resolves on its own within a few days. However, in some cases, fever can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition that requires medical attention.
Treatment for fever may include over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce fever and relieve symptoms. It is also important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If fever persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache, it is important to seek medical attention.
Preventing fever involves practicing good hygiene, such as washing your hands regularly, avoiding contact with sick individuals, and getting vaccinated for infectious diseases when possible.
