The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of pyrogens (heat generating proteins) by an inexperienced immune system.

∙ 12y agoFever causes our body temperature to rise creating an environment where some pathogens cannot survive. Not only does it slow the germs in your body, it accelerates the process of making white blood cells, which combat the foreign germ or pathogen in your body. (Billy Jean is not my lover!!)

∙ 10y agoRegulating body temperature is very important. If your temperature drops too low it could cause organ damage. If your temperature is too high it could cause dehydration, seizures and even hearing loss.. A side note: I personally know 2 people that have suffered complete hearing loss due to a high fever as a child.
