Best Answer

A fever (a rise in body temperate well above 98.6 degrees F - 37 degrees C) is the body's natural mechanism to kill an infection.

The pneumonia bacterial infection causes your Body to flare up to 104 degrees F because Bacteria in general cannot survive temperatures greater than 103 degrees F!

Generally, fever is not a disease or illness, it is a sign that your immune system is trying to fight off some sort of infection. Although you don't generally feel good when you have a fever, it's a good sign that your immune system is trying to fight off some sort of infection.

A sudden spike in temperate and temperatures above 103 degrees F are times to worry about a fever.
