Best Answer

A fever, or pyrexia, is a rise in internal body temperature to levels that are considered to be above normal. Body temperature is determined by the body's thermoregulatory set-point. The body increases this set-point in response to threats such as bacterial or viral infections.

A fever is a body temperature above normal. In music, getting a fever is also meaning to feel hot. In literature, lovers are said to be sick in love.

You may have a fever if you are exposed to someone who is sick (an infectious agent).

There are also normal times when your body temperature is elevated and you have not been exposed to someone sick. In other words, you can have a higher than normal temperature and still not be sick.

How to get a fever is asking how to an seek infection. How to be more vulnerable. The opposite is how to protect yourself from infections or germs.

So, in public health, if you are looking to find the source of an elevated temperature, you can start by seeing who was the last sick person you were near.

In the meantime, avoiding touching without barrier protection and

wash your hands after using the bathroom or before caring for others and eating.
