The function of fever is to increase the ability of the body to kill invading bacteria. This happens via two mechanisms: many bacteria will not reproduce at a higher temperature, so raising temperature willl impede their growth and spread. Higher temperatures also increase the ability to fight infections by increasing the speed of chemical reactions, increasing the mobility of white blood cells, and increasing the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria.
