Fever, or pyrexia, is a temporary increase in body temperature, often due to an illness.It is the body's natural defense mechanism against infections
Fevers can be categorized into different grades, each indicating the severity of the temperature rise.A low-grade fever typically ranges from 99.1°F to 100.4°F and may cause mild discomfort
A moderate fever falls between 100.4°F and 104.0°F, often leading to more noticeable symptoms such as chills and body aches.A high-grade fever exceeds 104.0°F and can be dangerous, requiring immediate medical attention
Depending on the cause of fever, the treatment varies significantly.For example, if the cause of fever is malaria, then anti-malarial medicines need to be started as soon as possible
