Increased body temperature, or fever, is typically a short-term response to infection, inflammation, or other acute conditions. It helps the body fight off pathogens by creating an environment less favorable for their survival. However, if elevated temperatures persist for an extended period, it may indicate a chronic condition, requiring medical attention.
