Your immune system recognises a foreign body in your circulation and through an Ige response liberates specific antibodies created only to fight that specific virus into your bloodstream. These antibodies then find and encapsulate the virus. Once they have done that they then start to digetst it. Once digersted the virus is inactivated, The antibodies then " return to the garage" To await any further invasion by similar invaders. Thus immunity is aquired.

When the body detects a attack like a disease, it creates whites cells (leucocytes) in order to fight this disease.

∙ 13y agoThe body first of all has barriers to reduce the amount of toxins/ pathogens entering The sweat and oil your body produces is hazardous to pathogens. Some cling to the dead skin which falls off our body. Our nose has hair and mucus which halt and gum up diseases but you can eat boogers!Saliva in our mouths is deadly and our stomach acid(we swallow plaque all the time) has a low Hp so pathogens die. Our eyes tear because tears contain salt which dry out the moisture of a disease.
If they get past these defenses and infect cells, your body automatically swells(Inflammatory Response). The extra amount of blood is loaded with white blood cells(phagocytes, macrophages, cytotoxic, B-cells, platelets) to halt as many of the pathogens as possible. The pathogens which die have their antigens taking and are brought to B-cells. These can produce anti-bodies which block a pathogens(virus) antigen. Antigen can unlock our cells' cell membranes and thus allow the cell to infiltrate. Once blocked, the virus is harmless. However, certain diseases like HIV destroy the T-cells which bring the antigens to the B-cells so the virus can't be destroyed.
Our body gets a fever when infected because most diseases don't reproduce well in high heat so taking fever medicine is not always the best idea.Sneezing also gets rid disease but cover your nose or others may get it as well an they'll have to Kill the Carrier.Don't hold in sneezes however or you get pop blood vessels in your nose and risk infection.Runny noses should blown out and not sniffled because the snot is loaded with immobilized pathogens. Keeping them only keeps them inside you.

Why do humans run fever?
Fever may also occur when your body has came down with a cold, flu, virus, ect.

Normal bacteria dies at around 98-104 degrees F. This is why you have such a high fever and usually when you are the sickest because there is a battle between the pathogens attacking your organs and immune system and the body is fighting back.
Why would adult male maintain fever for days while taking antibotics?
Because he's sick that's why. I've had bronchitis now for two weeks, only in the last four days did I develop a fever. A fever is indicative of something wrong with his body. Some type of infection is active. Viral or bacteria or both. If this person doesn't get over the fever within 48 hours, seek medical help asap. Also bacteria and viruses are building resistance to antibiotics, so perhaps a new course of antibiotic treatment is necessary. I suggest seeing a specialist to treat your original symptoms and discuss with him/her what is going on.
