The difference in temperature will make the immune system fight more effectively and the infection will weaken. Also, the body's temperature's increase itself can actually destroy the cause of the illness, such as infection.

True. It also disrupts the ability for viruses to multiply, as they normally thrive at body temperature. It can also aid the body's immune system to identify an infenction and raise an army of white blood cells against it.
