How bad is a 112 degree Fahrenheit fever?
Most people in an ER that survive run a 105 to 108 at the most so I would say a 112 is really really bad if you run that then jump into an ice bath it may induce shock but I'd take that over your insides melting like they've just been hit by the Ebola virus

Your son is 2 weeks old baby his body temperature is 37.4 c is it normal temperature of his body?

Why does a change in body temperature occurs?
One of the reasons is because of your internal clock. Have you ever noticed that your body temperature drops in the evening when it is ready for sleep and warmer when you wake up? Also, external environment has a lot to do with it. Your body will react and try to achieve homeostasis if it becomes over-heated or too cold.
Can sub zero temperatures cure a cold or flu?

Does your body temperature tell the time of day?
Generally a person's body temperature is a little higher late in the day than it is early in the day, but I doubt that it is significant enough or that the cause is unique enough that it can be trusted as a clock. However, the best way to answer your question is to record your temperature every hour or two that you are awake for three to four weeks, then set up a graph with the x axis being the time of day and the y axis being the temperature, and mark each reading as a point on the graph. Then look at the result to see how linear it is, and, if so, if there is any slope to the line.
Why a newborn baby can't keep its body temperature constant?

What other method are used to maintain body temperature?
Your body homeostatically adjusts your body temperature. The brain has a internal thermostat that is set to its ideal temperature. When the body is hot, nerve receptors in the skin pick up the message and send it to the brain. The brain in turn causes the release of hormones that causes a slightly saline fluid in the form of sweat to appear on the skin surface. As the sweat evaporates, it has a cooling effect on the body. If the body is cold, the skin picks up the message and sends it to the brain. The brain then sends a signal to the little hairs on the surface of the skin to stand up. The hair standing up on the skin traps air and keeps warm air near the body. Another way the body maintains body temperature when cold is to cause shivers. Involuntary muscle contractions or shivers cause heat by the effect of metabolic and muscular activity. When a person is sick and has a fever, the thermostat is rewired to a new temperature to help fight off the infection but many times fever reducers such as Tylenol or Motrin help bring the temperature down by blocking receptors that change the body's temperature.
What is a response to body temperature rising above normal?
