Before we jump into the treatment and causes of fever, let us first understand the definition of fever.
Definition of Fever
A fever, often referred to high temperature, is a body condition which is caused as a response to infection. The patient experiences a consistent rise in his body temperature above the normal level of 37°C or 98.6°F. During the initial stages, he feels warm. However, with the persistence of fever, the temperature goes through changes. If it rises consistently, the patient feels shivery; on the other hand, as it drops down, a sudden feeling of extreme warmth and being flushed is experienced.
