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

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.
