Why do you get a fever when you catch a cold virus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your body's ability to fight infection like a common cold virus depends on your immune system response to the infection. There are no drugs, like antibiotics which are used for treating bacterial infections, for treatment of viruses. Anti-viral drugs make the symptoms feel better and may help you get over it quicker, but they do not "kill" viruses like antibiotics kill bacteria. One of our immune system responses to an invading pathogen (germ) can be a fever. The reason the fever is generated in response to the presence of a virus is that certain amounts of heat can inactivate some viruses and kill some bacteria. This is part of the body's normal methods of stopping germs. Fever is a good part of your defenses and that is why you are encouraged to ride through a fever without using fever reducers as long as your temperature is not over 102 degrees. Doing this will help eliminate a large number of the viruses infecting your body. Drink plenty of fluids and allow the disease and your defenses to run their courses. You should be over it in 7 to 10 days without any treatment other than OTC symptom relievers. Ask your pharmacist for help selecting the best products for your symptoms.

What is the term raggers or raggarsassociated with chills and high fever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have had one attack of the Ragers and it was most unpleasant , it started with a mild fever not to bad then the shivers started and they continued for quite a long time until I was shaking so badly that I was actually bouncing off of the sofa I was sitting on.

I called my son to take me to Hospital as I had no idea what was going on he could hardly understand me as my teeth were chattering so badly.

Thankfully that is the only time I have had the experience, I has something to do with when you Core Temprature drops to a certain level your brain tells your body to start to shiver to create heat within your body, at least that is what the hospital doctor told me.

What to do when a baby has a fever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can often tell just by placing your hand on the child's forehead. Or take its temperature with an underarm thermometer (underarm measurements are usually one or two degrees low, so add a degree or two).

A baby does not have a fever unless its temperature is above 100 degrees F / 37.7 degrees C in the morning or over 101 degrees F / 38.2 degrees C in the evening.

If the baby is less than 6 months, then call the doctor. If there is nothing else wrong with the child it probably will recover by itself. Fever is a sign that the body is fighting some illness.
