What is Fever?

Fever Basics:
Fever is a natural response of the body to infection, inflammation, or other medical conditions. It is often characterized by an elevated body temperature above the normal range.

Common Causes:
Fever can result from various factors, including viral or bacterial infections, inflammatory conditions, and environmental triggers. Identifying the root cause is essential for targeted and effective treatment.

Managing Fever

Hydration

Drinking plenty of fluids helps the body stay hydrated and aids in temperature regulation. Water, herbal teas, and clear broths are excellent choices.

Temperature Control

Using a damp cloth, taking a lukewarm bath, or using a fan can help bring down body temperature. Avoid using ice packs directly on the skin.

Rest

Adequate rest is crucial for a swift recovery. Listen to your body, and give it the time it needs to heal.

Warning Signs

While most fevers resolve on their own, certain warning signs necessitate medical attention. If you experience severe symptoms, persistent high fever, difficulty breathing, or other concerning signs, seek medical help promptly.

Preventing the Spread of Infections

Hygiene Practices:
Fever is often a symptom of infectious diseases. Practicing good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing and proper cough etiquette, can help prevent the spread of infections.
