Fevers

Fever is typically caused by an infection, such as a virus or bacteria. It can also be a response to an inflammatory condition or certain medications. When the immune system detects these triggers, it releases chemicals that raise the body's temperature, resulting in a fever.

Because High Temperatures Damage The Proteins That Are In The Cells. If The Temperature is too high; 40 to 41 degrees Celsius, many of the proteins reach their flocculation point, and they suffer from either precipitation or denaturation.

To help cool down a fever in a 71-year-old man with pneumonia, you can try using a cool washcloth on his forehead, ensuring proper hydration with water or electrolyte drinks, and give him a fever-reducing medication like acetaminophen as directed by a healthcare provider. It's important to monitor his temperature and seek medical advice if the fever persists or worsens.

Growing fever is not a medical condition. It may refer to a slight increase in body temperature that can happen during growth spurts in children, but it is not a definitive or recognized medical term. It's important to monitor any fever in children and consult a healthcare professional if it persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.

Yes, dogs can get fever, a cold, cancer, asma, and almost evry other sickness you can imagine. Sorry, but this is the reality.

Dogs will if they are sick, but also if they are stresses or scared.

It attacks the brain and spreads throught the hole body until you die.

Sticking a sliced onion or sliced garlic under the armpits for at least a few hours is said to raise the temperature of the body a few degrees. A better alternative to this is simply not faking a fever or being honest about your reasons for wanting to avoid whatever the fever would excuse you from.

If you are trying to avoid going to school you can fake a fever pretty well by sticking the thermometer under the bulb of a lamplight -

but make sure you only leave it there for a few seconds about 15, otherwise the temperature will get too high and anything above 103 is cause for extreme concern, and above 106 well you technically are experiencing brain damage-if not death

so your mom will know you are faking it-

101 to 102 is the best range- too sick to go to school but not sick enough to worry

An infection that was spread from one patient to another after surgery due to lack of antiseptic procedures.

try dengue fever

no, you cannot detect your own fever with your hand because your hand is the same body temperature as your forehead. Therefore, you can't feel if your forehead is hot or cold both are either hot at the same time or cold.

A low grade fever? Possibly; If you were dehydrated enough to the point of the body not be able to use sweat to cool down.

A high fever? Probably not.

All fevers are too high for a 2 month old. You should always contact your doctor when an infant has any fever and do so as soon as possible. If the infant gets dehydration from the fever, it can cause serious, even life-threatening problems. Fever usually means infection, and infants do not have the immune system maturity to deal with it on their own. Always contact the doctor for infant and young children's symptoms of fever for advice.

Yup. Not with cold water

isn't normal human body temp lik 96.7 or something? if so your baby is not having a fever rather he might be decreasing his internal body heat. a fever normally starts around 100.1 temp which is mild to a 107 which is serious.

A average body temp is 98.6! Your 3 year old is just probalby a little cool ! take it a couple more times to make sure that just isn't her temp !

If you mean body temperature, it's close enough to 98.6 to be considered normal temperature. If you mean working in the sun when the air temperature is 98 degrees, you are risking heat exhaustion at any age.

Colonial fever was a typhus epidemic transmitted by head lice and very common on crowded immigrant ships. See paragraph beginning "Among the most poignant cases..." http://www.ballaratheritage.com.au/articles/creswick.html

Of course you can take Aspirin. Also Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol), is recommended for teenagers because of the risk of Reyes Syndrome, a potentially fatal disease which can occur in the bodies of teens taking aspirin for fever related illnesses.

you do because it makes you hot so sweat is the body's way of cooling you down

As a result, C. burnetii can cause infection through contaminated milk, or when humans come into contact with the fluids or tissues produced when a cow or sheep gives birth

No. 100 is usually considered a low fever. 98.6 is average. 98.3 is on the low end of normal. 101 is when people start to worry about a fever, but 100 is when a child would be sent home from school, so make your determination from that, I suppose.

Hyperthermia is the medical term meaning very high fever. Its opposite is hypothermia.
